"I just luckily played good enough"- Keegan Bradley opens up about his performance at the 2023 Travelers Championship
The Travelers Championship weekend opened with Keegan Bradley and American golfer Denny McCarthy sharing the lead. However, after a bogey-free round on Saturday, June 24, Bradley surges to a solo lead in the event.
He entered the final round with a score of -21, one stroke ahead of Chez Reavie and took control in the tournament with three birdies in the front nine holes. Reavie, on the other hand, struggled as he made two bogeys on the front nine.
Bradley began the back nine with a flurry, carding two back-to-back birdies on 11th and 12th, which was unfortunately followed by two consecutive bogeys. He made one more birdie on the 16th, playing the last two holes with a par putt to finish at 68.
Speaking about his game, the 37-year-old golfer said:
"I wasn’t hitting that bad of shots. I didn’t hit a great shot on 13, but that’s how those holes are. Like you know you can make — you can birdie them and you can bogey them all. I just luckily played good enough to where I could afford — that’s my only bad stretch of the tournament, and luckily I was ahead enough.”
Keegan Bradley's victory at the 2023 Travelers Championship earned him $3.6 million in prize money from a total payout of $20 million, as well as 500 FedEx points.
