Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau are two of the leading contenders to win the PGA Championship on Sunday.
Scheffler (-11) is fully expected to secure the third major victory of his career after an epic back nine at Quail Hollow.
The world number one is three shots clear of second place Alex Noren (-8), and DeChambeau is six strokes back on -5.
But if anyone is capable of hunting the leader down with an awesome final round, it’s the 2024 US Open champion.
Keegan Bradley comments on Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau contending at the PGA Championship
United States Ryder Cup team captain Keegan Bradley shared his thoughts on the American duo contending at Quail Hollow this week.
It’s been well-documented that European players have dominated the PGA Tour in the 2025 season.
So, Bradley will be pleased to see several American players in with a chance of winning the PGA Championship this week.
The 38-year-old said how he feels about seeing Scheffler and DeChambeau after round three. “I was really excited to see Scottie and Bryson up there,” he said.
“I’m always taking a peek at the leaderboard to see where I am and where our guys are. I love looking up there and seeing the leaderboard packed with Americans.”
Bradley shot a three-under 68 on Saturday to climb into the top 10 on the leaderboard before the final round.
He has not given up hope of playing in the Ryder Cup at Bethpage, and that would become much more likely with a high finish at the PGA Championship.
“No matter what happens tomorrow, with these finishing holes, you just never know what’s going to happen,” Bradley added.
“It seems like I’ll be out ahead of the leaders, which is kind of nice, and you know, hopefully go out there and shoot a great score. But we’re in a good spot.”
Keegan Bradley discusses ‘wicked mud balls’ at Quail Hollow
Bradley claimed, upon reflection of his hopes of winning the tournament, that “You never know” what might happen.
The biggest storyline at Quail Hollow this week has been mud balls, and the players not being allowed to clean them.
On day one, Scheffler and Xander Schauffele both hit approach shots into the water because of mud on their balls.
Bradley explained what it’s been like to deal with “wicked mud balls” at the PGA Championship.
“You have to really hang tough because there are still wicked mud balls out there,” Bradley commented on the situation. “I had a couple that were violent. You’ve just got to hang tough.
“There are some holes that you can make birdies on, and there are obviously holes like the last three that are just really, really difficult. Did a great job of hanging in. Hit a lot of good drives, and I think that’s the key.”
