Keegan Bradley was blocked out. A blocked tee shot at the par-4 18th put him behind a group of trees with only small windows of opportunity.
Bradley found one of tiny frames, punched his ball through and watched as it rolled across the green, down a slope and to within 4 feet of the hole.
“Top 3 shots I’ve ever seen in my life,” said on-course reporter John Wood, who has caddied four times in the finals of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play Championship.
When pressed to name two better, Wood couldn’t.
The birdie gave Bradley a tie in his match against Adam Scott. It sent Bradley to 0-1-1 after two days of group play at Austin Country Club. Unfortunately for the former PGA champion, he was mathematically eliminated from the knockout round.
Scott, however, moved to 1-0-1 and is still alive entering Day 3. But not Scott nor Bradley nor Wood will soon forget how Thursday’s match ended.
