Bradley Wins BMW Championship. Scott & Davis Top 5
Keegan Bradley scored a one-shot victory at the BMW Championship staged at Castle Pines Golf Club in Colorado. The 38-year-old, who managed a bogey at the final hole, produced the narrow win over Australia’s Adam Scott, Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg and compatriot Sam Burns.
Bradley opened the PGA TOUR’s penultimate FedExCup Playoff event with a superb bogey free 6-under 66. It was the 11th time Bradley led the field after 18 holes. He was 0 from 10 attempts at converting his early lead into a win. Bradley followed up his hot start with rounds of 68, 70 and 72 to reach 12-under.
Australia’s Adam Scott moved in to the lead after 36 holes when he fired a sizzling 9-under 63 in round two. The 44-year-old tour veteran was searching for his 15th PGA TOUR title. Scott carded rounds of 74 and 72 over the weekend to finish at 11-under—one shot short of Bradley’s winning score. Scott shared the runner up finish with Burns and Aberg. Burns posted the best score on Sunday with a 7-under 65. Aberg rounded out his event with a 1-under 71.
Cam Davis took a share of fifth place at 8-under after signing for a stunning 6-under 66 on Sunday. Jason Day was the other Australian in the top 50 field. Day finished in a tie for 33rd place at 1-over.

Scott is the only Australian who will compete at East Lake for the massive US$25 million bonus for winning the 2024 FedExCup. Day’s season ended in 33rd place. Davis was three spots back at 36th position.
