Keegan Bradley is the closest challenger to Adam Scott after round two of the BMW Championship.
Bradley carded another impressive round of four-under par but he saw his overnight lead evaporate after Scott shot a brilliant 63.
Bradley, who we all know is the surprise pick for the Team USA captain job at the Ryder Cup next year, is actually hoping to find form and play in the Ryder Cup himself.
His performances this week at Castle Pines have done his chances of doing that no harm whatsoever and he’ll very much be looking to finish the 2024 season on a high.
Of course, to win out he’ll need to reel in Scott, who has three-shot lead at the moment and looks in fine form himself.
Nevertheless, Bradley has huge respect for Scott and he’s admitted that the respect he has for the Aussie goes way back.

Speaking to the media about his second round and what might be to come in round three, Bradley was asked if there’s any reason why two of the older campaigners are doing so well.
And while Bradley was unsure on that part, he did admit he was really excited to go out and play alongside Scott.
“I have no idea,” Bradley said.
“I really enjoy playing with Adam, so I’m excited to go out in the final group and play with him tomorrow.
“He’s a guy that I’ve always admired and looked up to and watched as a kid. When I come out on TOUR, he’s been one of the better guys, so I look forward to playing with him tomorrow.”

Quite who will win out in the end, remains to be seen.
Ludvig Aberg is not far away himself, while some top players like Alex Noren and Sung-Jae Im are also not too far back.
One player who is nowhere near winning is Rory McIlroy.
McIlroy drew the eyes of the golfing world by tossing his club into the water yesterday, and he looks far from being at his best yet again.
It’s all set, then, for another thrilling weekend finish.
