Keegan Bradley wins BMW Championship, first title since captaincy nod
Keegan Bradley secured his first PGA Tour victory since 2018 with a dominant performance at the BMW Championship. The American fired a final-round 68 to finish at 15-under-par, three shots clear of Scottie Scheffler and Patrick Cantlay, who shared second place. Bradley’s victory comes just weeks after he was named captain of the American team for the 2023 Presidents Cup. The 36-year-old has now won five PGA Tour titles, including the 2011 PGA Championship. Bradley’s victory at Wilmington Country Club was built on a solid all-around performance. He hit 73% of greens in regulation and ranked fourth in the field in strokes gained putting. Bradley’s win elevates him to ninth in the FedEx Cup standings, putting him in a strong position heading into next week’s Tour Championship.

Inside Presidents Cup Comeback Scenes, Second-Guessing From 5-0 Sweep
Trailing 5-0 after Friday’s foursomes, the U.S. pulled off a stunning comeback in the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow Club.
The International Team appeared poised for a sweep but the U.S. clawed back thanks to a Day 3 four-ball rally and a masterful Sunday singles sweep.

Want to improve your game around the greens? Start practicing under pressure
Practice Your Short Game Under Pressure
If you want to improve your golf game, you need to practice your short game. That means spending time hitting chips and pitches from different lies and distances, and working on your bunker play and putting as well.
But don’t just practice hitting balls on the range. To really improve, you need to practice under pressure.
“Start implementing pressure into your practice,” said the founder of the Short Game Institute in Las Vegas. “Practice hitting a chip shot with someone standing behind your back.”
“If you’re not nervous, it doesn’t count,” he said. “You need to be able to perform under pressure.”
Here are a few tips for practicing your short game under pressure:
Find a practice partner. Having someone to watch you and give you feedback can help you stay focused and accountable.
Set a goal. Try to make a certain number of chips or pitches from a certain distance.
* Track your progress. Keep track of how many shots you make and miss, so you can see how you’re improving.
