Adam Scott remains confident for the Sunday finale despite a bit of a hiccup on the third day of the BMW Championship.
On Saturday, August 24, Scott entered the third round of the BMW Championship at 13-under. However, he had a rough start to the day, sinking two bogeys and a double bogey in the first four holes and shooting a 40 on the front nine. He managed to recover somewhat on the back nine, picking up three birdies but still finished the day with a 2-over 74.
During the post-round interview, Adam Scott appeared optimistic despite the challenging day.
"Look, I love my position," he said. "I feel like, again, a bit like yesterday, I'm playing on house money, and I'm right in this golf tournament. I don't know how many times, too, this year I reckon I've been in contention going into Sunday, so I'm excited for tomorrow."
Reflecting on his performance, the former World No. 1 said he didn't feel he did much wrong.
"A couple of drives were just not quite right, and a three-putt, and all of a sudden I'm kind of chasing," he continued. "I really struggled mostly on the greens today. They were just so different from yesterday's round speed-wise and firmness and look and everything. Felt like I was on a different course almost, and I just battled that most of the round."
"The good shots I hit, I didn't really get the reward. I'm in a good spot in the end of it to be one back," he added.
Following the third round, Scott is at 11-under, one shot behind Keegan Bradley. Bradley shot a 2-under 70 in the third round to move to the top after 54 holes.
