Facing Ryder Cup decision, Bradley 3 back at Tour Championship - ESPN

ATLANTA — Keegan Bradley spent part of Monday handing out free Ryder Cup tickets to golfers at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, the site of next month's match between the United States and Europe.

With another spectacular 18 holes in the final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club on Sunday, Bradley might punch his own Ryder Cup ticket — as a playing captain for the Americans.

Bradley made birdies on the final three holes at East Lake on Saturday to post a 7-under 63 in the third round, leaving him in fourth place at 13 under, three strokes behind co-leaders Patrick Cantlay (64) and Tommy Fleetwood (67).

Russell Henley carded a 1-under 69 for third at 14 under, and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is lurking in fifth after posting a 66 to get to 12 under.

While Bradley described Saturday's performance as perhaps his «best round of the year,» he wouldn't say how it might affect his decision to use one of his six captain's choices on himself.

«It's just a heavy decision,» Bradley said. «All the picks are tough. Captain is going to be judged on who they pick. Pretty strange thing to pick yourself. It's something that I've been thinking about for a long time, and I just want to make sure we make the right one.»

«I don't know,» Bradley said. «We're going to find out tomorrow. I'm either going to win or I'm not, and we're going to know the picks. We're pretty
