Keegan Bradley sits at No. 26 on the points list to make the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team, a team that Bradley will captain. If he has any intention of playing his way onto that team, a good first step was Thursday's opening round at the BMW Championship, the second leg of the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs. Bradley shot a 6-under 66 at Castle Rock Golf Club to lead by one. History, though, is not on Bradley's side to win as the 2018 BMW Championship winner is 0-for-10 when trying to convert an 18-hole lead in to a victory.
