Redman claims Bermuda Championship lead
Doc Redman earned a one-stroke lead at the Bermuda Championship thanks to his four-under-par 67 in the third round on Saturday.
Redman moved top of the leaderboard courtesy of a near-flawless display at Port Royal Golf Course, where the American holed five birdies and just one bogey in windy conditions.
The 22-year-old is seeking his maiden PGA Tour title and second top-five finish of the 2020-21 season, having tied for third at the Safeway Open.

Redman has three career top-10 placings, each of which are top-three finishes – second at the 2019 Rocket Mortgage Classic, T3 at the 2020 Wyndham Championship and T3 at the 2020 Safeway Open.

Ryan Armour (70) and Wyndham Clark (70) – overnight leaders following Friday's second round – ended the penultimate day a shot behind Redman at nine under through 54 holes, along with Kramer Hickok (69).
"I'm asking [caddie] Billy to get the compass out and see what the wind's doing on this putt, because you have to factor that in so much, just because the wind’s blowing so hard,” said Hickok.
"Literally you've got a putt that's half a cup out left, and the wind's off the right, it will blow it left. It's different, it's fun, and you've got to embrace it."
"It's such a feel game right now, the way the course is playing, which is a lot of fun," Hickok continued. "You don't get that a lot on this TOUR. You've got to open up the imagination and just hit different shots. It's fun."
