Former St. John’s golf standout Keegan Bradley struggles at Memorial

Former St. John’s golf star Keegan Bradley struggled in the Memorial Tournament after posting two less than stellar scores over the weekend.

It was not a pleasant weekend on the links for nearly all of the golfers in the Memorial Tournament.

Only five players shot even or under par in the final round on Sunday as Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio proved to be too strong for the field.

Former Red Storm star Keegan Bradley didn’t capitalize on his opportunity to post low scores earlier in the week following a one-over 73 on both Thursday and Friday.

However for Bradley that would be as good as anything got for him after making the cut he limped to a five-over 77 on Saturday and a eye popping six-over 78 on Sunday.

The combined score of 13-over par placed Keegan Bradley at T68 with Cameron Smith, William McGirt, and Tyler Duncan.

Bradley only finished above three others golfers that made the cut Mark Hubbard, Kang Sung-hoon, and Joel Dahmen.

Jon Rahm was the eventual winner of the Memorial after a total score of nine-under par despite shooting a controversial three-over on Sunday which included a two stroke penalty following the round for unintentionally improving the lie on one of his shots.
