St. John’s golf: Keegan Bradley cannot solve final holes at CJ Cup

Former St. John’s golf standout Keegan Bradley could not solve the final holes during the CJ Cup at Shadow Creek.

There are some holes in golf that just always get the best of you and that’s what it felt like for Keegan Bradley this week at the CJ Cup at Shadow Creek.

Despite putting together four quality rounds, Bradley struggled mightily on the final five holes all week long as the Red Storm Hall of Fame inductee was five-over par from No. 14 to No. 18 throughout the weekend.

Thursday afternoon Bradley was five-over, which plummeted his promising his round, he was three-under on the holes on Friday despite playing them as his front nine, one-under on Saturday, and another porous four-over on Sunday.

However, despite the struggle on the closing holes, Bradley finished the tournament at three-under par and T-42.
