WITB: Keegan Bradley wins Travelers with hot putter

Keegan Bradley claimed his sixth PGA Tour win over the weekend, with a commanding performance at the Travelers Championship.

The 37-year-old fired a 23-under-par total over the week, with his final round of 68 his highest of the week where low scoring was the name of the game.

Bradley’s putter was on form, with the Odyssey Versa Jailbird claiming another win on tour, after Wyndham Clark used the vintage flatstick to win the US Open.

Another place where Bradley excelled was with his approach play, where he led the Strokes Gained stat throughout the week. All in all, he gained over seven shots on the field with his irons. That, along with a hot putter was a strong combination for the man from Vermont.

Interestingly, Bradley only has two wedges in the bag, trusting the Cleveland RTX ZipCore model. He’s got a 52° and a 58° in the bag, which is fairly unusual in a time where most players will have at least three wedges in play.

The former US PGA champion made things slightly harder than they needed to be, with three dropped shots on his back nine, but with a comfortable cushion, he was able to steer home a three shot victory.
