Beau Hossler leads Wyndham Championship as Keegan Bradley barely keeps alive postseason hopes
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Beau Hossler made an 11-foot birdie putt on his final hole Friday for a 3-under 67 that gave him a one-stroke lead in the Wyndham Championship, which might have been the least consequential development in the final event of the PGA Tour’s regular season. Hossler has never won on the PGA Tour and needs nothing short of victory at Sedgefield Country Club…
At the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, Beau Hossler secured a one-stroke lead with an 11-foot birdie putt on his final hole, posting a 3-under 67. Hossler, a rookie on the PGA Tour, required victory to advance to the postseason. He was trailing Ben James by one shot, both tied with Jordan Smith, who had led the Canadian Open and finished outside the top 50.
The drama unfolded as Keegan Bradley, ranked 72nd in the FedEx Cup, managed to secure a 67, finishing at 3-under 137, with three birdies in his last six holes. The finish came down to the final groups, where Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Ben Kohles were on the brink of eliminating Bradley, Andrew Putnam, and Austin Smotherman. However, both missed their birdies, and Davis Chatfield bogeyed his last hole to tie for 64th, ensuring the top 65 and ties made the cut.
Bradley expressed his relief and excitement about having a shot at the playoffs. Jordan Spieth, ranked 55th and already guaranteed postseason entry, acknowledged his role in the drama, aiming for progress in the top 50 and securing all $20 million signature events.
