Keegan Bradley (-7) Leads After Round 1 of BMW Championship 

Keegan Bradley entered the BMW Championship ranked 44th, which found him on the outside of the top 30 who qualify for the the FedEx Cup Finale next week. Thankfully for him, he listened to The Sportsletter writers. As we mentioned in yesterday’s edition, a hot putter was going to be a major key to victory at this course, and Bradley had exactly that. He led the field in putting and ultimately put himself in a great spot to potentially make it to next week by leading outright after 18 holes. Adam Scott (-6) currently trails him by one stroke, while Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry, and Harold Varner (-5) aren’t far behind in third.
