Keegan Bradley called it “one of the best holes of my life.”
He had just bogeyed two of his previous three holes to surrender a two-shot lead Sunday at the Zozo Championship when he found the middle of the fairway at the par-4 17th hole at Narashino Country Club in Japan. Playing competitor Andrew Putnam was tied with Bradley for the lead at 14 under while the third member of their group, Rickie Fowler, was a shot back.
After sticking his approach to 15 feet from just over 150 yards out, Bradley needed to convert the birdie to turn the momentum back in his favor.
