Former St. John’s golf star Keegan Bradley finishes T32 in return to action

Former St. John’s golf star Keegan Bradley finished T32 in golf’s return this week in Texas.

Sports are slowly coming back and the next step was taken this week as the PGA returned to Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas for the Charles Schwab Challenge.

It was one of the best fields the sport has seen in a non-major in recent memory and while many players had to shake off the rust this weekend, there were a handful that put up low numbers and had a shot at winning the first tournament back.

One of those players that had to shake off the rust when getting back on the course was former St. John’s star Keegan Bradley, but the Johnnie certainly held his own in the star-studded field.

Bradley posted a six-under for the round with a one-under, 69 on Sunday.
