"The question of 'should he be a playing Captain?' will be discussed" - Amanda Balionis on Keegan Bradley
During the final round of the Travelers Championship on Sunday (June 22), CBS reporter Amanda Balionis explained the "Sunday storylines" to fans via her Instagram account.
While talking about US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, she wondered whether he would pick himself for the team in the upcoming biennial tournament. After he emerged victorious in the tournament, Balionis revisited the possibility of the 39-year-old making the team in September this year.
She wrote:
"What. A. Finish. Keegan Bradley takes his 2nd Travelers Championship trophy in dramatic fashion, ensuring that the question of, “should he be a playing Captain?” will be discussed ad nauseam until the roster is solidified,"
US golfer Keegan Bradley had entered the final round of the Travelers Championship tied for second with Russell Henley. The duo were trailing leaderboard topper Tommy Fleetwood by three strokes.
Early in the round, Bradley covered up the three-shot deficit after Fleetwood carded three bogeys in the first four holes. The two were tied for the top spot. However, later on, the British golfer regained his lead in the round.
As the final round progressed, it came down to the wire between the golfers. However, it was Bradley who triumphed that day with a margin of one stroke. Fleetwood and Henley tied for second with a total score of 14-under.
