Keegan Hansen Bradley[1] (born June 7, 1986) is an American professional golfer who competes on the PGA Tour.
He is one of six golfers to win in his major debut, along with Ben Curtis, Fred Herd, Willie Park, Sr., Francis Ouimet and Horace Rawlins.
He was the 2011 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year and has briefly featured in the top ten of the Official World Golf Ranking.
[8] Hopkinton coach Dick Bliss later recalled that Bradley received the third-most attention of his players that season, and that "not many big-time college recruiters gave him much of a look.
[10] Bradley turned professional in 2008 and began playing on the NGA Hooters Tour, where he won at Southern Dunes in his fifth and final start of the year.
[11] He attempted to earn a 2010 PGA Tour card through qualifying school but ultimately fell short by two strokes.
[8][10] Bradley made the cut in his first PGA Tour event, the 2011 Sony Open in Hawaii, and finished T-7 the following week at the Bob Hope Classic.
[14] The victory gained him entry into the 2011 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, where he shared the 36-hole lead and led midway through the final round before finishing T-15.
[23] At the 2012 Northern Trust Open, Bradley and Phil Mickelson each made long birdie putts on the 72nd hole to force a three-man playoff with Bill Haas, who made a 45-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole to win the tournament.
[26] In June, Bradley played in Europe for the first time at The Irish Open at Royal Portrush and missed the cut.
[27] Bradley won his third PGA Tour event at the 2012 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational by a stroke over Jim Furyk and Steve Stricker.
Following the season, Bradley was a member of the winning United States team at the Presidents Cup played at Muirfield Village in Ohio.
Adam Scott faltered during Sunday's final round but it was Matt Every rather than Bradley who won a come-from-behind victory.
[34] In August, Bradley won the BMW Championship for the second time,[35] becoming the first Ryder Cup captain to win a PGA Tour event since Davis Love III in 2015.
Bradley is also close friends with Jason Dufner, and was one of the first to personally congratulate him after his victory in the 2013 PGA Championship.
