In what could be a first for a pre-tournament press conference, Keegan Bradley was asked only briefly on Wednesday about being defending champion of the BMW Championship, and about the course, Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Md.
Mostly, Bradley talked about his role as captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team, the September event’s course, Bethpage Black, and if he would use a captain’s pick on the current No. 10 player in the Ryder Cup standings.
That player is Bradley, making for a compelling narrative and much speculation as the FedEx Cup playoffs continue this week and lead to the Tour Championship.
The top six players in the Ryder Cup points standings after this week’s tournament will automatically qualify for the squad that faces Team Europe on Sept. 26-28
