A closer look at three rounds Saturday at the WGC Cadillac Championship

Keegan Bradley (69-205)

Bradley holed out a chip from just under 40 feet for an eagle at No. 8, but he managed only two birdies against one bogey the rest of the way. After tying for fourth last week at the Honda Classic, Bradley is in good shape for another top-10 finish as he’s tied for fifth heading to the final round. “I felt really good,” he said. “I hit the ball well and feel like a good number is right around the corner.”

Charl Schwartzel (69-205)

Three straight birdies from Nos. 5-7 got Schwartzel to 11 under and in position to at least challenge for the lead, but he played the final 11 holes in even par, bogeying No. 18 when his second shot from the No. 1 fairway flew the green. “I had opportunities to get back into it,” he said. “I had opportunities with my putter, but I missed a lot of short putts on the back nine. Wind (Sunday) is my only hope at this point.”

Freddie Jacobson (71-206)

He got off to a great start with an eagle at No. 1 but gave that back with bogeys at Nos. 3 and 4. He barely missed a hole-in-one when his tee shot stopped inches short at No. 9, then lost another shot on No. 10 when his 24-foot birdie putt hung on the lip. “Just a really weird round,” he said. “Had a lot of chances but couldn’t get the breaks I needed. It just felt like I couldn’t get anything going the whole day.”
