Keegan Bradley

Looking to end his winless drought, 2016 could be the season that Keegan Bradley becomes relevant again.

Keegan Bradley is another golfer who has fallen off the map as of late. Bradley enters this season looking for his first win on TOUR since the 2012 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational. That was over 1,200 days ago. It’s time he’s found his way back inside the winner’s circle.

Following the Masters last year, Bradley recorded only one top-10 finish and blames his disappointing season on, “a lot of weird stuff.”

Keegan has a unique approach for getting out of the dry spell he’s been on. He believes the more tournaments he enters, the more chances he will have to find a win.  I think this approach will work out for the St. John’s alum. The more competitive rounds and experience he has under his belt will come handy in down the stretch.

The anchoring putter ban comes into play in 2016, which means Bradley will have to develop a new putting routine. While this seems unpleasant, it will play into Keegan’s favor.

Bradley switched to a 41-inch non-anchored putter last May at the Memorial Tournament and only needed 28 putts in his first round using the putter.

"“I’ve got to give myself a good amount of time with this putter switch, because it’s a pretty drastic change for me,” Bradley said. “I’m feeling better and better with it, it’s just a matter of making the putts now obviously. But if you put a belly putter in somebody’s hands that has never used it, it would take an adjustment as well. So it’s an adjustment.”"

The more Bradley gets used to his new putting routine, he’ll find the same success he had back in May. He’s hungry to get back to his winning ways.
