OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Keegan Bradley still has two FedEx Cup playoffs tournaments left to make his case to become the first playing captain for the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 62 years.
Ryder Cup veterans Patrick Cantlay and Rickie Fowler believe Bradley has already done enough on the course this season to be on the 12-player roster that will battle the European team at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, on Sept. 26-28.
Bradley, 39, will be the youngest American captain since Arnold Palmer was a playing captain in 1963 at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
Bradley is currently 10th in the U.S. team points standings after winning the Travelers Championship, a signature event, on June 22. He hasn't finished in the top 30 in four starts since then. He has five top 10s and nine top 25s
