Keegan Bradley held his composure in the final round to secure victory at the BMW Championship at Castle Pines near Denver. The 2025 United States Ryder Cup captain started Sunday with a one-shot lead over Australia’s Adam Scott, who levelled the score after the first hole. However, Scott’s game faltered with three consecutive bogeys from the 10th hole, allowing Bradley to pull ahead.

Bradley, who previously won the BMW Championship in a 2018 play-off against Justin Rose finished with a level-par 72 on the final day, totaling 12-under for the tournament. He clinched the title by one stroke over Scott, Sam Burns, and Sweden’s Ludvig Åberg. This win marks Bradley’s seventh PGA Tour title and his first since last year’s Travelers Championship.

With this victory, Keegan Bradley moves into fourth place in the FedEx Cup standings ahead of the season-ending Tour Championship next week. Despite a tied 33rd place finish at Castle Pines, Scottie Scheffler remains at the top of the FedEx Cup standings. Bradley expressed his excitement about his chance to win the FedEx Cup, stating, “It just shows why you’ve got to grind it out every week because you never know how fast it can switch.”

Sam Burns, who started the final round four shots behind surged with a seven-under 65, finishing tied for second. His round included eight birdies, although he narrowly missed a tying shot on the 18th. England’s Tommy Fleetwood also made notable progress, shooting a three-under 69 to move from 31st to 22nd in the FedEx Cup standings, earning him a spot in the Tour Championship.
