Scott Bradley, go for big finish in Shanghai (AP)

SHANGHAI-Adam Scott can join rare company with a second World Golf Championship. Keegan Bradley still has hopes of player PGA winning Tour of the year. Paul Casey believes that his PGA Tour card had disappeared and has a shot to resume.

Champions of the HSBC, the semi-official end of the PGA Tour and the beginning of a great finish on the PGA European Tour, offers a little of both players.

Scott Bradley, and Casey put themselves in the running Friday at a wet day and cloud Fredy International. They hunted Fredrik Jacobson, who held six birdies from his card for a rattled and error 6-under 66. Jacobson's record for the tournament 11-133 and attached to a shot under the direction of about Scott and Louis Oosthuizen go towards the end of week.

Jacobson, a Swede who lives and who plays primarily in America, won his first title on the PGA Tour this year Championship travellers and believes that his game has improved to the point that it can reflect on his first Ryder Cup team.

It is still 10 months.

There are several immediate goals for others to Shanghai, not just the diversity of the PGA Tour.

US Open Champion Rory McIlroy always has the best chance of Luke Donald of racing on the European tour money list, although it might need to win HSBC Champions and the estate of the tariff in Hong Kong in a real game for three weeks. McIlroy spitting along Friday a day of high, birdies with a bogey for a 69 trade too many left behind him six shots.

"I just wanted to still play captures," McIlroy said. "I feel as in past two days, I have a few shots left." It is one of those things. I have to try and they make up this weekend.

"I need something doing well enough at the end of week if I want to try to win this tournament."

Scott has been after nine birdies in his 18 holes and a single green in his round of 65 missing in much better shape.

As always, Scott looks more like he could have done this year, although it would not trade that a victory on the Bridgestone Invitational. A victory this week would him for Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as the only players to win multiple World Golf Championships in the same year. Woods made five times, while Mickelson won at Doral and HSBC in 2009.

"This would be a very good year," said Scott. "Overall, I feel like I played really well this year, and I would not say that I regret only to win a tournament of the year.". But I feel like I played pretty well and a few other times in a position and take advantage of the step yet taken. I could be in position late Sunday and see if I can edge here on the ground.

"And then to win two Championships in the world of Golf..." These are the tournaments you want the sum at the end of your career. »

He raised the task while playing with Bradley and Lee Westwood, a trio who combined for 16 birdies and an eagle to make their required carefully Gallery distracted. Westwood wound up with a 68 and was four shots of the lead.

Scott opened the way to take effect of four straight birdies at the start of his tour, capped off the coast by a 7-iron from 190 yards to 3 feet on the sixth by-3. It seemed that he could be five in a row until he tried to ram in a 12-foot birdie putt, only to run it about 5 feet by the hole and three-launcher for bogey. He bounced back with two birdies more close his front nine and enter hunting.

Bradley may have the most at stake this week. A victory would be the International Fredy PGA Tour leader third victory of the year and with two of those who the PGA and WGC Championships, it would be sufficient to be elected player of the year.

Currently, Bradley was still in the game.

It was even by on the back and grateful for it. On two holes, leaving Bradley and 12 feet for par, itself 10 metres and the two times he has pierced the putt. He missed his last four tee shots, hit a sand wedge to 5 feet for birdie on the last hole to save a 70 and only two shots to Midway to stay behind.

"The birdie on 18 was great," said Bradley. "Today could easily have been same by, and I have 2 sub.". I'm only two shots back. I'm in a really good place. I know that I could make some really good on this course. »

Winner of the Malaysia Bo Van Pelt had a 69 in his under 31 - it is six rounds of the Asian adventure - and was three shots behind. Participate in him was Casey, suddenly a chance for a happy ending for a year by otherwise austere.

Treated Casey party of the year with an injury to the foot who obtained its sync swing. His season PGA Tour domestic ended on the island of the sea, a few weeks, when he missed the cut, and it is wound up no. 136 on the list of money to lose his business card.

However, as for Bradley, a victory over the HSBC Champions would count as official members of the PGA Tour. This means that Casey, who had little State when he moved to Shanghai, an official could return home with a victory and a three-year exemption.

"The season not on yet, although I feel kind of like I work next year, said Casey." And the golf I played today is the wave that I remember game. »
