Ryder Cup twist: vice-captain and ‘snub’ Alex Noren outplays Team Europe at the BMW, sharing the lead after a commanding round – reshaping the weekend title fight and reigniting selection debate.
Keegan Bradley, the last man into the field at the BMW Championship, took a one-shot lead after the opening round on Thursday. The American carded a bogey-free 65 at Wilmington Country Club, one stroke ahead of a group of four players including world number one Scottie Scheffler.
Bradley, who only qualified for the event on Monday, took advantage of the favorable morning conditions and made the most of his chances on the greens. The 36-year-old hit 13 of 18 greens in regulation and needed just 26 putts to complete his round.
Rory McIlroy found the water on the 18th hole at the BMW Championship on Friday, hitting his 3-wood shot into the hazard to the right of the fairway. It was a costly mistake for the Northern Irishman, who had been in contention for the lead. McIlroy eventually carded a 4-over 76, leaving him well down the leaderboard.
