Butterfield Bermuda Championship: Novak, Campos Lead into Final Round After Stellar Performances

The 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship is set for an exciting finale as Andrew Novak and Rafael Campos share the lead heading into the final round. Both players shot impressive 9-under 62s on Saturday to take the top spots on the leaderboard at Port Royal Golf Course in Southampton, Bermuda[1][3].

Justin Lower, who had been leading after 36 holes, slipped to third place after a 68 on Saturday. Lower’s round was marred by a bogey on the 18th hole, where he drove into the water and scrambled to save par. Despite this, he remains just one stroke behind the leaders at 15 under par[2][3].

Wesley Bryan made a significant move up the leaderboard with a course-record-tying 10-under 61. Bryan’s round included birdies on several holes and an eagle on the par-5 seventh, positioning him three shots back from the leaders[1][3].

The final round will feature Novak, Campos, and Lower in the final grouping, teeing off at 8:55 a.m. ET. The tournament will be broadcast on Golf Channel from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. ET, and can also be streamed via NBCSports.com or the NBC Sports App[1].

The winner of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship will receive a $1.242 million share of the $6.9 million purse, along with 500 FedEx Cup points and a two-year PGA Tour exemption[1]).

Rafael Campos’s strong performance comes at a critical time, both personally and professionally. Having recently become a father, Campos is also fighting to maintain his PGA Tour status, currently ranked 147th in the FedEx Cup standings[5]).
