Billy Horschel calls Keegan Bradley immediately after the St Jude Championship

He is among those competing for glory at the BMW Championship, as is his compatriot and 2025 Ryder Cup captain Bradley, who is in 50th place.

Bradley finished T59 at the St Jude Championship, with Horschel calling him after his final round to confirm his position.

“So I just talked to Tom, he said the guys like Tom Kim, Mav McNealy and Mackenzie Hughes, because they didn’t play well, guys can’t drop far enough behind to give them enough points to jump you,” Horschel said to Bradley on a call, as per the PGA Tour.

“So he says you’re probably good. I mean, 90 plus percent, I would say even more than that. Happy for you.”

Bradley has just about made the cut for the BMW Championship in Colorado, but of course must produce a strong display in order to make the top 30.

The new Ryder Cup captain finished on one over at the St Jude in Memphis, having finished strong with a final round 68.

Horschel meanwhile ended on 10 under after his final round 67, with the American in a strong position to make it all the way to the Tour Championship.

Hideki Matsuyama emerged victorious in the opening event, finishing two shots clear of Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele.

The Norwegian has risen all the way up from 57th to 16th place in the points list as he looks to defend his FedExCup crown.
