The third round of the 2026 Charles Schwab Challenge gets underway on Saturday at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
There is a six-way tie at 6-under par after the second round. But, of course, the tournament remains wide open with two days remaining.
Here are my picks and Charles Schwab Challenge Round 3 best bets.
Charles Schwab Challenge Round 3 Best Bets
Mac Meissner Top-20 (-146 at DraftKings)
Mac Meissner has been one of the most consistent golfers in the field this week, going 66-67 en route to his current T11 position. At -146, he is worth backing to maintain that momentum and record his third top-20 finish over his past four events.
Mid-iron play is essential this week. The course is not particularly demanding in terms of distance, with nearly 50% of approach shots coming from the 125-175-yard range.
That distribution is well above the PGA Tour average.
This makes Meissner a strong option to continue his consistent play over the weekend. One of the better mid-iron players on the PGA Tour, he ranks in the 77th percentile on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach from 100-150 yards and in the 76th percentile from 150-200 yards.
Keegan Bradley Top-20 (-118 at DraftKings)
Another golfer worth targeting in this market is Keegan Bradley. After an outstanding start on Thursday, he slowed down a bit with a 69 in the second round.
However, he remains inside the top 20, and at -118, it's worth backing him to stay there over the weekend.
Like Meissner, Bradley fits this course well. Entering this week, he ranks in the 69th percentile on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach from 100-150 yards and in the 67th percentile from 150-200 yards.
Greens are difficult to hit at Colonial, making scrambling a key factor this week. That is the strongest part of Bradley's game, as he ranks in the 92nd percentile on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: around the green.
He used that elite short game to finish T2 here last year, and it would not be surprising if he adds another high finish following his strong start to the week.
