Keegan Bradley confirms his presence at the Honda Classic
Keegan Bradley, the runner-up of the Northern Trust Open, has confirmed his presence at The Honda Classic, scheduled from March 1 to 4, 2012.
The 25-year-old American professional golfer is in the field of the tournament staged at the famous PGA National Champion Course, Palm Beach Gardens in Florida.
He won the title of the major tournament in the last season. Recording a victory at the major, PGA Championship, at a younger age is impressive.
He defeated Jason Dufner with a one-stroke lead in a playoff stage.
This was his first major win of his career, whereas he had also won the title of The HP Byron Nelson Championship again in the playoff.
Bradley secured two titles in 2011 and successfully achieved the award of PGA Tour Rookie of the Year. He earned his PGA Tour card in 2011, while playing the PGA Q-School in December.
"It's a terrific way to round out the major winners," Ken Kennerly, the Executive Director of the Honda Classic, said.
"It's the first time in tournament history we've had the four reigning major champions playing in our tournament the next year," he added.
"We were proud of Keegan last year for everything he accomplished," Kennerly said. "He clearly has established himself as one of golf's young stars".
The field is set for The Honda Classic and there are many other eminent players to play at the PGA National Champion Course, Palm Beach Gardens in Florida.
After Bradley, the US Open winner Rory McIlroy, The Masters winner Charl Schwartzel and British Open winner Darren Clarke are also making the tournament more appealing.
His recent performance at the Northern Trust Open is also impressive. He had given tough times to the winner Bill Haas and another runner-up Phil Mickelson.
The winner and the two runner-ups competed well for the title. However, Haas defeated his competitive rivals by playing tremendously in the playoff round. Their scores were a 7-under 277.
Now, Bradley is heading to Arizona to perform at the exciting mega event of the Accenture Match Play Championship.
Later, he will be arriving in Florida to play The Honda Classic at the PGA National Champion Course.
