Keegan Bradley is a fan favorite. Wherever he travels he always brings a crowd, especially at this week’s event being near his Jupiter home. The 2011 PGA Championship winner’s pre-swing antics are cause for bit of a chuckle, but the fans love the pesky obsessive style Keegan’s golf game.

Keegan has played in 9 events so far this season that included 3 top-10’s and is seated in 18th in the OWGR standings. Bradley’s season so far hasn’t been noisy, but look for him to make a run at an event and course he is comfortable playing. You might find yourself rooting for the kid from Woodstock, Vermont come Sunday.

Emiliano Grillo is among the class of young talent on Tour. The 24-year old Argentine ranks 6th this season in strokes gain around the green and 15th in tee to green. Grillo has played impressive golf in majors the past couple of seasons, making the cut in every single event. He has one top-10 in 7 2017 starts.

Cody Gribble won the Sanderson Farm Championship back in October, his first career PGA Tour win. Gribble also has two top-10’s on the season so far and ranks 11th in putting. The Longhorn camps in 15th place in the FedEx Cup standings.
