-

POTOMAC, MD. >> Keegan Bradley did nothing special on the only easy scoring day this week at the Wells Fargo Championsh­ip, opening with an even-par 70 that left him around the cut line.

Since the conditions got tougher, Bradley has been the best player at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.

Bradley shot the lowest score for the second straight day, a 3-under 67 that gave him a three-day total of 8-under 202 and a two-shot lead over Max Homa in British Open weather on a U.S. Openstyle course.
