Keegan Bradley with OTT (?!) answer to Ryder Cup question
Keegan Bradley says he thinks about the Ryder Cup 'every second of every day' as the PGA Tour pro staked his claim for Zach Johnson's side.
You cannot accuse Keegan Bradley of not having passion when it comes to the Ryder Cup.
The PGA Tour pro still has a chance of automatic qualification for Zach Johnson's United States team.
Only the top six players in the standings will not need to rely on Johnson and his team of vice captains for a pick.
Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark are the only two golfers who have already qualified for the U.S with time to spare.
Bradley has an outside chance of sneaking into the top six but will need a good showing at the BMW Championship and the season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake.
Patrick Cantlay, Brian Harman, Brooks Koepka and Max Homa are currently inside the top six.
But elsewhere you have Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Cameron Young, Collin Morikawa, Sam Burns, Rickie Fowler and Bradley jockeying for position.

For Bradley, though, he made a clear case for a captain's pick when he gave an impassioned speech about why he loves the Ryder Cup and what sets him apart from other players when it comes to the dust-up.
The 37-year-old has made two Ryder Cup appearances and tasted defeat on both occasions.
His debut came in 2012 at Medinah where he was partnered with Phil Mickelson during the first three sessions. The duo picked up all three points.
But we all know what happened over the weekend.
And his last appearance came at the 2014 Ryder Cup in Gleneagles.
Bradley played Jamie Donaldson in the singles and the match ended with the Welshman stuffing his approach on No. 15 to seal the cup.
He told reporters before the second leg of the 2023 FedEx Cup playoffs:

So what separates Bradley from the rest of the guys in the mix?
He said:
