Printing can't touch this major tournament beginner
JOHNS CREEK, GA. - as a way of the cosy removes the hours of the morning before his time in the late afternoon tea on Saturday, Keegan Bradley of found simply ally in his 10-month-old nephew.
He spent the morning Bradley that PGA Championship was wheeled around in a stroller at the 93 playing with little Aiden how his uncle was put in position to fight for the title.
In their own way, both are diaper Dandies.
In almost unintelligible to a tableau in a time of unrivaled global depth Bradley, one stroke behind co-leader and fellow rookie Brendan Steele starts the final round of the last great.
Bradley, 25, broke that his little nephew had no idea what was going on around him, a statement, which are only themselves, might. Incredibly, both he and Steele play in their first major tournament.
"I have no idea what happens probably", Bradley chuckled. "I hope that I always still cannot understand, what is going on tomorrow."
Ah, a double negative, that invaluable positive could soon turn into one.
Steele and Bradley take the ignorance is bliss to a stratospheric level. The last time was a player in his first major championship won, as a rookie Ben Curtis won the 2003 British Open. Prior to that he was Francis Ouimet in... 1913.
Steele and Bradley spent tour last summer working on the developmental nationwide. Each has won on the PGA Tour this season, that their hopes but this is huge, a completely different realm of pain and suffering.
Or trained so we oh, think over the past century of the main event. The history of the game is littered with the skeletons of big-name of guys who pre-book fell fainting under duress slam.
These two blinked, but on the penultimate day of the event. Steele shot his third straight score under par with a 66 and will play in the last group with Dufner, 34. Bradley, who shot 1 - under 69, will be located in the near future. The pair partner, sometimes are common practice round with mentor Phil Mickelson.
Somehow, they were able to con in thinking this is just another event, which is a testament to their mental strength or the largest exercise in Grand Slam self-deception either in years. What it is, work safely.
"Everybody thinks that it's a great," said Nick Wilkins, Steeles caddie. "But we it as an other golf tournament, approach, whether it is the nationwide or where ever."
This would be in any case where whatever. Steele, the most difficult in the season final round conditions during a storm at the Texas open won, easily played in France last month and it only helped his transition into the spotlight. He finished T7.
"We are our element, and it built our confidence in," Wilkins said.
This element is named Atlanta Athletic Club as the glowing, smoldering, glowing art on the front of an oven and it burned much more experienced guys. None of the game most decorated major championship winners, such as forests, Harrington, Singh and Mickelson, are closer than level par.
Both players make the usual jokes about pinching myself, but it is certainly true. This is a very unusual Umstand--two of the first three on the Board are major tournament virgins.
"It's kind of of my wildest dreams," said Steele.
Dufner, who a PGA Tour victory, said it would be unwise to assume that because they are rookies and play in their first large that Steele and Bradley their bedding is wet.
"they have as play experience and award-winning tournaments, and that goes a long way, I think whether win at the junior golf or college golf or Hooters tour or nationwide tour," said Dufner. ", That is, that win Office."
"That could change the name, the atmosphere can be changed, but I think it goes a long way and I think it is, why the guys were real successfully."
Bradley jumped to the fore with blistering 64 on Friday. After the PGA Tour data, which dates to 1983, is the lowest round of a major championship first-timers during this 28-year period.
The similarities are really striking. Both use a belly putter, both are based such as a 1-iron, they have so far avoided damage on the brutal 4-hole closing stretch in AAC. Indeed, they each have a single bogey on 18, their three rounds.
That would have presented at a time as the American Golf future issue control and ridicule because of the drought record six major victory have been, that two real rookies playing in their first large closest to click the ball would be?
Perhaps it is advantageous that NULL major championship scar tissue that never was by the so called big boys feet kicked, or chewed up by some Grand-Slam-layout on green grass steroids.
"If you talk about people like Tiger and Phil and Harrington, guys, the majors, have won and several times," Steele said: "I am sure that they have an advantage over a guy like me."
These guys are nowhere in sight, brother. So who knows, maybe a little naive, is, if that's the right word, handy will come, when for the first time in the Sunday shooting gallery on foot?
"I like the action," laughed Steele, "when, who, will help me in any case."
