Bradley has momentum at East Lake
CASTLE ROCK, Colorado—Keegan Bradley rode patriotic cheers to victory at the BMW Championship as he shot an even-par 72 in the final round on Sunday to win by a shot over Adam Scott and two others at Castle Pines Golf Club.
It capped a dramatic resurgence for Bradley, who was named the 2025 US Ryder Cup captain last month and was the last man in the field this week. He tallied a 72-hole 276 for the seventh win of his PGA Tour career.
Yet, Bradley will enter the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta next week in fourth place at six-under based on the staggered start used at the season’s final tournament.
“Oh, man, it just shows why you’ve got to grind it out every week because you never know how fast it can switch,” Bradley said. “Now, I go to Atlanta with a chance to win the FedEx Cup. I can’t believe it. I’m so excited.”
Bradley, who was not selected as a captain’s pick on the 2023 Ryder Cup team, heard cheers from the gallery of “Let’s go captain” and “U-S-A” everywhere he went.
Bradley took a lead he would not relinquish with a par on the 537-yard, par-4 10th hole that broke a tie with Scott (72), who had a three-putt bogey on the hardest hole on the course.
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (72) tied for 33rd at the BMW, but he enters East Lake as the top seed and will start at 10-under par. Xander Schauffele (71, tied for fifth) will be second at eight-under par and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama, who withdrew from the BMW with a back injury, will be third at seven-under.
