Keegan Bradley fires 6-under 66 to lead BMW Championship
Keegan Bradley of the United States plays his shot from the second tee during the first round of the BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club on Aug. 22, 2024 in Castle Rock, Colo.Keegan Bradley went from a bundle of nerves waiting to see if he would advance in the PGA Tour post-season to a blissful day of birdies in mile-high air Thursday that led to a 6-under 66 and the lead in the BMW Championship.
It showed on a course that could dole out punishment without a moment’s notice. Bradley missed only two fairways and two greens, took advantage of the par 5s and made it look relatively easy on the 8,130-yard course, the longest in PGA Tour history. Adam Scott, among two players who were at Castle Pines during its two-decade run on the PGA Tour, made a long par-saving putt on the 18th for a 68 and was joined by Sungjae Im, Alex Noren and Corey Conners.
The other number is 30, the players who advance to East Lake next week to compete for the $25 million FedEx Cup title. The higher the seed, the better the chance. It was a good start for Noren, who has never been to the Tour Championship and is No. 45 in the FedEx Cup. Ditto for Scott at No. 41. Scheffler stretched his neck to the side a few times, but then on the 17th he appeared to grab his lower back on a long iron shot to the par 5. His last two full shots looked fine, as did so much of the rest of his round. Scheffler said it was nothing to be alarmed about.
