Keegan Bradley Player Profile And What's In The Bag

Article Updated - June 2023

Keegan Bradley sealed a sixth career win on the PGA Tour with victory at the Travelers Championship in Connecticut. It was his second win of what is turning out to be a resurgent season for the 37-year-old.

The American carded a final-round two-under-par 68 to finish on 257, 23 under overall.

That left the 2011 PGA champion three clear of the field, with compatriot Zac Blair shooting a superb eight-under 62 to finish second alongside Brian Harman.

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy finished in a share of seventh place.

The 34-year-old made five birdies in his first seven holes to climb the leaderboard but a bogey on the ninth and just two gains on the back nine meant he signed for a 64 to finish on 18 under overall, five shots behind Bradley. It was his fourth top-10 finish in as many starts.

World number one Scottie Scheffler shot a five-under 65 to finish four shots off the lead in a share of fourth place.

Player Profile

Bradley was born in Woodstock on June 7, 1986. His aunt is former LPGA star and World Golf Hall of Fame member Pat Bradley.

He turned professional in 2008 and began playing on the Hooters Tour, winning at Southern Dunes. Bradley won a second Hooters Tour event in 2009 at the Texas Honing Open. He made 22 cuts in 26 events that season and earned $84,000. He also played two Nationwide Tour events, making the cut in both of them. He failed to gain his PGA Tour card at qualifying school for the 2010 season.

In 2010, Bradley played on the Nationwide Tour, where he recorded four consecutive top-five finishes late in the season to finish 14th on the money list and earn his PGA Tour card for 2011.

He won the US PGA Championship in 2011, becoming only the sixth golfer to win a major at his first attempt, joining Ben Curtis, Willie Park, Fred Herd, Francis Ouimet and Horace Rawlins. He also won the Byron Nelson Classic the same year and was named PGA Tour rookie of the year.

The following year he won the WGC Bridgestone Invitational but had to wait until 2018 for his next success, at the BMW Championship.

Bradley, who is one of the most deliberate players on the PGA Tour, used to anchor his putter and had to adapt when anchoring was banned.

He represented the USA at the Ryder Cup in 2012 and 2014 and played in the Presidents Cup in 2013.

He made an excellent start to the 2022-23 season, winning the ZOZO and finishing in a tie for fifth at the Sanderson Farm Championship. Before his victory at the Travelers he was 15th in the FedEx Cup standings - he now moves to fifth. And his world ranking improves from 28th to 18th.

In winning the Travelers he broke the tournament record with a score of 257, 23 under par.
