ATLANTA — Keegan Bradley, who won the PGA Championship last month in a playoff over Jason Dufner, ran off four birdies on the back nine Thursday for a 6-under-par 64 and a two-shot lead in the Tour Championship.
Dufner was surprisingly crooked off the tee, yet still managed a 66 and was tied for second along with Chez Reavie and Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world and one of five players in prime position to win the $10 million FedEx Cup bonus.
Charles Howell III was at 67, along with Adam Scott, Hunter Mahan, Jason Day and Matt Kuchar.
Webb Simpson, No. 1 in the FedEx Cup, bogeyed the last hole for a 69. Of the top five players in the FedEx Cup — all of whom only need to win to collect the $10 million — Dustin Johnson (No. 2) was the only player not to break par. He shot 70. No. 3 Justin Rose fired a 69. The Associated Press
