U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley is placed in a mix for large points of a glass of Ryder – and British Open Title

Portrush, Northern Ireland – Open Championship is the final chance this year for American players to earn a higher percentage of Ryder Cup points.

And the captain is ready to use.

For the first time since 2018. years, Keegan Bradley will play a weekend in the outdoors after being in ideal terms without Bogey on Friday in the Royal Poro. He was in 3-lad 139, five shots from the lead club.

He was a random time for a player who could soon become the first American playing Captain from Arnold Palmer 1963. Years. Table 9 in the table, his candidacy gets significant reinforcement after victory in the Traveler Championship, on tour.

Bradley did not come up with the outdoors getting a great dift out of his week; In 11 attempts never been better than 15^th in the year of the final major. And before Friday 67, he left 17 consecutive rounds without the score of the 60s. But Bradley said he was a more rounded player than at any time in his career, especially around greenery, and that is already starting to pay off in portray.

“I have to go on,” he said. “I really have to play well on this event and then in the playoff.”

Bradley was also quick to point out that there is still a chance for “extreme movement” during the next month and a half, because six automatic places are finalized 17, and six replacement measures. Open awards 1 ½ points for every $ 1,000 – up from the usual individual – and the three FedExcup playplays all contain 20 million dollars of the lungs.

The towing halfway on portraits shows only how much instability is.

Brian Harman, an open champion from 2023. Year, which was a late addition to the detachment that was lost in Rome, once again put in a position through two rounds, publishing 65 to lead to 8 below. In the list was no. 12. Another team candidate, Harris English, a member of the American separation from 2021. years, is no. 10 On the table and among I shoot in a portress.

“I’m happy that some Americans are up on top of the leading cardboard,” Bradley said. “It’s really such a different experience to look at the manager now because I look up and I’m like, Brian is playing well, and that’s great, which is really excited about it, which is really fun.”

Bradley said that the only way to make me a mental distraction of Ryder Cup was while in the ropes. And when he finishes around the round, he jumps into a text thread with his vice captains – what is the latest, what the guys listen to, who is well spent.

Even if the conversation sometimes turns into your game.

“I’m going to look like just another player,” he said. “It’s hard for me, but we need to look at every opportunity, just like we’d look at any other player in my position. Anyone in the top 12 or Top 15 or Top 20 – Want to look at the player playing the best.

“We still have two months before the ruins of the Ryder, and if we continue my show, then we will talk about this. But you never know how this golf thing is.”
