Keegan Bradley's Summer Heats Up, Putting Ryder Cup Status in Question

Bradley's Recent Success

Keegan Bradley has had a remarkable summer on the PGA Tour.

He has won twice, including the Travelers Championship, and has finished in the top 10 in six of his last nine starts.

Bradley's strong play has moved him up to 11th in the FedEx Cup standings and 21st in the world ranking.

Ryder Cup Implications

Bradley's recent success has put him squarely in the mix for a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

The team is captained by Steve Stricker, who will select six players and three captain's picks.

Bradley is one of several players who are vying for one of those picks.

Factors in Stricker's Decision

Stricker will likely consider several factors when making his picks, including:

• Current form
• Past Ryder Cup experience
• Overall record against international players
• Team chemistry

Bradley has a strong case for a pick based on his current form.

He is one of the hottest players on the PGA Tour and has a good record against international players.

However, he has never played in a Ryder Cup before and may not have the team chemistry that some of the other contenders have.

Conclusion

Bradley's recent success has put him in the mix for a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Whether he ultimately makes the team will depend on several factors, including his continued performance, Stricker's assessment of his game, and the team chemistry.

Regardless of whether he makes the team, Bradley's strong play this summer has been a welcome sight for U.S. golf fans.
