Bermuda Championship - Round 3
@PGATourLunch - Moving Day at WINDY Port Royal
PGA Tour Lunch is more of a Brunch today at our mobile-friendly, quick-look at the tour comes to your inbox three hours earlier today as the Bermuda Championship is being played in the Atlantic time zone and is already underway. R-3 tee times began at 9:09am (Local)/8:09am (ET).
The leaders tee-off at 11:10am (Local)/10:10am (ET), about one hour from our posting time this Saturday morning.
36-HOLE UPDATE: After a second round dominated by 25 mph winds with constant gusty conditions, nearing 30 mph, Ryan Armour and Wyndham Clark (minus 8) lead the field with Kramer Hickok a stroke behind heading into Round 3 today.
All six of Armour’s rounds at Port Royal have been under par as he finished T-8 at last year’s Bermuda event.
Scoring average from first two rounds:
R-1: 69.970
R-2: 73.638
WHEN I’M SIXTY-FOUR: A huge storyline from Bermuda is the play of Fred Funk who is the oldest PGA Tour player to make the cut since Tom Watson played well at the RBC Heritage five years ago, Funk shot 69-72 (-1) over the opening two rounds and is T-37 of the 68 players to advance.
Funk enjoyed his 650th start on tour and grouped with son, Taylor, the 64-year-old finished birdie, par, birdie – including a chip-in on his 36th hole (No. 9) – to make his first 36-hole cut on the PGA Tour circuit since the 2017 Sony Open in Hawaii (T-74).

Tournament Notes
Co-leader Wyndham Clark made his first appearance at the Bermuda Championship, and reached 10-under before closing bogey, bogey, par on his final three holes. This is the first time he holds (shares) a 36-hole lead/co-lead on tour.
Clark has played well of late, as he was T-13 in his last start (Shriners Hospitals for Children Open) which was his best result in three prior starts this season.
Defending Bermuda Championship winner Brendon Todd (+4) did not advance to the weekend.
Only Kiradech Aphibarnrat (66) played a bogey-free round in the wind yesterday.
Henrik Stenson withdrew with a foot injury during the second round while Michael Gellerman withdrew after play was suspended Friday. Pat Perez and Robert Garrigus withdrew after their second round was completed.
Darkness fell Friday evening, so the suspended R-2 resumed at 7:41 a.m. this morning with four players needing to complete their scores.
Hank Lebioda (-1 thru 16)
Kristoffer Ventura (+1 thru 17)
Justin Suh (+2 thru 17)
Danny Walker (+3 thru 16)
They’ll all need to be at (+1 or better) to advance.
