Keegan Bradley Golf

[MarkRedman]

Keegan continues to struggle this year. Playing poorly in the 3rd round of the U.S. Open.

At least he made the cut
D. Johnson, McIlroy, Day and lots of other big names didn't

True. It's frustrating rooting for KB and more frustrating when the networks don't cover him at all, even when he is just off the leaders.

I would love to see him make the Ryder Cup team
He and Mickelson are great partners
But it just ain't gonna happen this time

When exactly has he been just off the leaders? He is irrelevant at this point but at least he's making millions and doing good for the world (I have to assume since he went to STJ and all). It appears he's far more journeyman than top golfer and that the two year's of excellence were more of an aberration. Happens to tons of golfers all the time. Hard game to master, harder game to stay on top. But staying in the middle is a lucrative career.

Keegan and Jordan Speith paired together tomorrow.

If you told me this on Thursday, I would have thought Keegan would be in contention.

Can't be that hard if the Donald mastered it but it is harder when someone is on top of you.

and that crazy nut the leader of N. Korea shot a 39 the first time he picked up a club with something like 9 holes in one.

Didn't the ban on his using that long high putter ( called?) shock his game down the slope - until then he was fine...
I wonder

Yeah, he's a bad putter who needed the anchor. But the rest of his short game is pretty bad as well. He's also not that much longer than average like he used to be. He's not even in the top 100 in the World Golf Rankings anymore and really only the top 50 matter. These kids today are beasts even Tiger would be barely above average against these guys.

PS I saw him on TV today. They must have been reading this thread. He was 9 over playing 13 or vice versa. Not sure why they didn't cover his every shot.

Can't blame all of his woes on the long putter
Several "long putter" guys have adjusted just fine to the new rules
Couple of examples - Adam Scott on PGA Tour & Bernhard Langer on the Senior Tour

 

[MarkRedman]

Not a Keegan story but certainly golf newsworthy
Phil Mickelson and caddie Bones MacKay have parted ways after 25 years together
Phil's brother, Tim, is taking over for Bones
