Keegan Bradley may have been the last man in the field this week at the BMW Championship, but he ended No. 1.
No, the No. 1 spot in the FedEx Cup standings heading into the season’s final event next week at the Tour Championship still belongs to Scottie Scheffler, but Bradley is heading to East Lake too after winning the BMW Championship, his first PGA Tour title since last season’s Travelers Championship. He’ll head to Atlanta in 4th in the season-long standings which means he’ll start the Tour Championship at six under, four back of Scheffler.
“I’m in a bit of a state of shock because there was a time a week ago about this time that I didn’t think I was going to be coming here,” he said. “I had to have a lot of magical things happen for me to just play in this tournament, and when I got here, I was so grateful just to be here. I played with a real sense of calm all week, which is not the norm for me.”
But much has changed for Bradley in between his two most recent wins, which give him seven now for his career.
Despite two victories during the 2022-23 season, Bradley was controversially left off the U.S. Ryder Cup team by captain Zach Johnson for last year’s matches in Rome. The U.S. team, despite having three of last year’s major winners and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, was soundly defeated by Team Europe.
