Bradley Making New England Golfers Proud

Keegan Bradley is a rookie on the PGA Tour. After he won the US PGA, like many young golfing pros, Bradley is eager, fit, well schooled and determined.

"It seems like a dream," Bradley said after snapping a picture of the Wanamaker Trophy with his cell phone on the podium before he spoke. "I'm afraid I'm going to wake up in five minutes and it's not going to be real."

So, somebody say Keegan Bradley making new England golfers proud! In this article, I would like to talk something about Keegan Bradley. If you are looking for good golf clubs on these uk golf direct store, I would recommend the good R11 Driver to you!

Among his hobbies, Bradley lists "sleeping." It's unlikely he did much of it Sunday night, especially since the massive trophy was very likely lying next to him. At 25, he is the first player to win a major in his first try since Ben Curtis won the British Open in 2003, but don't get the idea that kind of thing happens often. The last guy to do it before Curtis was Ouimet, 90 years earlier.

Although Bradley already had won once on Tour this year and was in position last week at the Bridgestone before crumbling on the final day, it seemed unlikely he could recover from that disastrous 15th when a fiendishly downhill chip ran past the hole, down a slope and into the water. He chose to go back 105 yards to hit his next shot rather than take a drop in a difficult area and put his ball within 10 feet, but missed his putt to end up at 6-under, 5 shots back.

His face showed no emotion as it seemed the title was slipping away. He simply stared with a grim look of acceptance, like a Vermont farmer realizing the sap had dried up in an old maple tree.

"I take tremendous pride being from New England," he said. "New England is a huge part of my personality and even how I play golf."

He accepted his problem and moved on in that stoic New England way, making birdie on 16 and again on 17 with a remarkable 35-foot putt. He double pumped his fist as it curled in, while behind him Dufner was unraveling.

Every time Pat Bradley won an LPGA event, her mother rang a Swiss cowbell from the porch of her Westford, Mass., home to let the town know Pat did it again.

"Now it's time for Keegan to make his history," his proud Hall of Fame aunt said. "We're so proud of the way he fought back. We're a tough Irish family. He just honored his dad with this win."

Then one day, atop a freezing hill at Killington, he told his father, "That's it." He's been a golfer ever since. Now, he's more than that. He's part of the game's long history.
