Keegan Bradley is coming off his best finish of the 2018-19 season with a runner-up two weeks ago at his de facto home event. The Vermont native was in contention at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut.

He won’t be on the East Coast this week, but Bradley’s playing style should make him feel at home at the 3M Open. The 33-year-old is solid off the tee (53rd distance, 52nd accuracy) and ranks fourth in strokes gained approach.

Putting has always been his bugaboo, and particularly after the 2016 anchored putter ban. Bradley ranks 186th in strokes gained putting, but had it going at the Travelers at 2.462 strokes gained on the greens per round on bentgrass greens.

Bradley finished T10 at the WGC-Mexico and T29 at the PGA Championship.

At 22nd in the American Presidents Cup standings, Bradley has to step it up to the medal to get in the mix for a captain’s pick.

"“Well, I can build a lot on this. I putted incredibly. I need to keep going,” Bradley said in Connecticut. “I put four rounds together and I got to keep going. It’s a race to the finish here, and I got to keep the pedal down.”"
