Former Johnnie Bradley wins Nelson
Keegan Bradley, a PGA Tour rookie out of St. John's, shot par on the first hole of a playoff with Ryan Palmer to win the Byron Nelson Championship in Irving, Texas, for his first tour victory Sunday.
Bradley, a Vermonter and nephew of LPGA Tour great Pat Bradley, sank a 2-foot par putt at the 419-yard 18th hole in the playoff. Palmer's approach went into the water and he made a bogey with a 13-foot putt.
Bradley closed with a 2-under-par 68 and Palmer a 72 to reach 3-under 277, the highest winning score on the PGA Tour this year. It was the fifth playoff in six weeks.
"I don't know what to say. I'm so happy, I can't believe this just happened . . . I've waited for this my whole life," said Bradley, 24.
