Despite a Lackluster Performance at the $8,800,000 Event, a Positive Keegan Bradley Sheds Light on His Ryder Cup Dream- “I Still Got a Lot to Show”

Despite a not-so-great Rocket Mortgage Classic Tournament earlier this month, Keegan Bradley is quite confident about his qualification for the Ryder Cup Team. The Ryder Cup Competition is a biennial men’s golf competition that is all set to take place at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, Rome later this year.

The 37-year-old golfer has been doing every thing he can to impress his captain Zach Johnson ahead of the tournament. Let’s find out more about his chances.

Keegan Bradley fails to impress at Detroit but he remains in contention

Keegan Bradley was last seen in the $8,800,000 Rocket Mortgage Classic Event. He had finished tied for 21st at the event. Even though he failed to get a desired position on the leaderboard, he still remains  seventh in the Ryder Cup standings, just one spot outside of the automatic qualifying spots. This means that the 2011 PGA Championship winner has a very good chance to make the team.

Bradley has played in the Ryder Cup twice before, in 2012 and 2014 but on both occasions he was part of the losing teams. Bradley has always set a lot of store by the tournament that is played between the US and Europe.

Recently, Ryder Cup USA shared Bradley’s excitement for the event on their Instagram profile with the following caption: “There’s just something special about playing in @TheRyderCup! 🇺🇸”

In the post, Keegan Bradley remarks: “I still got a lot to show the captain. I would love to go to Rome and be part of that team.” This says it all: he has high hopes of getting into the Ryder Cup team, especially after his brilliant performance at the TVC River Highlands, just days before the Rocket Mortgage Classic.

How Bradley triumphed at Travelers Championship

On 25th June 2023, Bradley received the Travelers Championship trophy along with a whopping prize money of $3.6M. He registered a 3-stroke victory over Brian Harman and Zac Blair.

Due to this, his chances to feature in the 2023 Ryder Cup got a massive boost in terms of automatic qualification. It’s not just that he wants to play in the Ryder Cup, he wants to win the tournament for his team.
