CASTLE ROCK, Colo.
— Keegan Bradley went from a bundle of nerves waiting to see if he would advance in the PGA Tour postseason to a blissful day of birdies in mile-high air Thursday that led to a 6-under 66 and a one-shot lead in the BMW Championship.
The opening round was halted for just over three hours because of thunderstorms, a common occurrence in the late afternoon when The International was held at Castle Pines during its two decades on the PGA Tour schedule. Taylor Pendrith of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Adam Hadwin of Abbotsford, B.C., were the other Canadians.
Bradley had reason to think he could join them the way he played, even with three rounds to go. The key was getting to the BMW Championship, which allows him to plan a schedule that will put him in the same place as players aspiring to be on the Ryder Cup team.
