Victory in the US PGA Championship was not only a first major triumph for rookie Keegan Bradley, it was also the first time a golfer has won a Major playing a Srixon golf ball. After his incredible recovery at the end of the final round, to win the 2011 US PGA Championship, Keegan Bradley said he had always been a golfer who had “kind of flown under the radar”.

Not any more. The first golfer to win on his Major debut since Ben Curtis in the 2003 Open, Bradley is now ranked 29th in the world, which means he qualifies for all the top events in world golf. People will even start to get his names the right way around (if you are still struggling, just remember that his aunt is LPGA legend Pat Bradley, as opposed to former Liverpool star Kevin Keegan).

SGB Golf adds to the scrutiny of Bradley by delving into the bag of this 25-year-old golfer from Vermont, who is sponsored by Cleveland, Srixon and Oakley.
