PGA Championship: Expert bets for Round 3 at Valhalla

Yardbarker - 253 days ago - We went 1-0-1 in our matchup bets for Round 2 of the PGA Championship, so we're back for more ahead of Round 3. Here are two 18-hole matchup bets we're targeting for Saturday's action at Valhalla Golf Club. Our favorite way to handicap 18-hole matchups is to back players who are striking the ball beautifully but maybe not scoring as well as they should be. Well, say hello to Keegan Bradley. Through two rounds at Valhalla, Bradley ranks fourth in the field in strokes gained from tee to green behind only Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa; yet he's three shots worse than any of them at 6 under because he hasn't been making any putts. The veteran shot a 4-under 67 in the second round despite losing 1.81 strokes from putting. Those putts are going to fall eventually, so as long as he keeps swinging this well, he could go low on Saturday. Jordan Spieth is almost impossible to predict on any given day, so we'll take the steady ball striking Bradley brings over the volatile scoring Spieth doe
