Keegan Bradley elevates Ryder Cup playing case with strong Open Championship
Keegan Bradley continued his solid form at Royal Portrush.
You need to make your peace with it. Keegan Bradley is going to be playing on the United States Ryder Cup team in September.
It should be noted that this is not a factual statement yet, but it might as well be.
Recent Ryder Cup player rankings have Keegan well in territory of what would be a logical pick for the American side and the only reason why the matter is up for any level of debate is because he happens to be the group’s Captain. We can all acknowledge that multiple things are true here and that Keegan is both Captain for the United States and one of the American players who will most deserve a captain’s pick, even if it is his own.
Keegan Bradley is making moves at the Open.

Bradley posted a Friday round of 4-under par at Royal Portrush during the Open Championship to take him to 3-under for the tournament as the weekend approaches. As noted by GOLF.com, Bradley could still put himself in automatic qualification and take the pick portion of this drama out of the equation, but ultimately the point stands that he deserves to be on the team.
We are going to see something very special at Bethpage with Keegan Bradley whether he is a pick or not. Get ready.
