Keegan, We are Going To need a Bigger Bell!

Posted in What's News by on August 15th, 2011

When Pat Bradley would win a golf tournament on the LPGA Tour back in the 1980s, her mother Kathleen would break out a Swiss cowbell and ring it from her porch in Westford like the town crier. Keegan Bradley’s grandmother rang it 31 times during his aunt’s Hall of Fame career.

Keegan’s Mom Kaye has gone to the wind chimes with Keegan’s big moments but the noise this kid is making on the PGA Tour might require a little bit bigger bell. If there is such thing as a buffalo bell then we better get one here in New England and keep it ready. The Pat Bradley Cow Bell is in the Golf World Hall of Fame in St. Augustine, Fla in Pat Bradley’s locker, but somehow I know it too is ringing.

I guess a Rookie on the PGA Tour just has no business winning the Byron Nelson and then taking home the PGA Championship in his first try at a major, you may want to tell Keegan that, I pretty sure he did not realize it. Keegan now sits number 4 on the FEDEX Cup standings just 150 points behind Nick Watney the leader. And yes he will be at the Deutsche Bank Championship this year and most likely throwing the first pitch out at the Red Sox / Yankees game on August 30th – 31st or September 1st , which has been a life long dream of his.

You will have to go pretty far back to find a New Englander that won a Golf Major in his first try, by the way does Francis Ouimet ring a bell!!
