THE BARCLAYS: Match Up

PGA TOUR season is the competition involving the younger players and the established ones. How will the veteran players with significant TOUR experience and long-standing championship pedigree fare against the hungry up-and-comers who are looking to nudge their way into the TOUR’s elite?

Each week, PGATOUR.COM has select two players and analyze their skills.

For The Barclays this week, we’ve selected Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley, two frequent practice round partners and — as of two weeks ago — major winners. Mickelson has four majors to his credit while Bradley, a PGA TOUR rookie, captured the 2011 finale when he beat Jason Dufner in a playoff at the PGA Championship.

Mickelson and Bradley, who also face off this week in PGA TOUR Matchups, are playing together in the first two rounds of The Barclays with Luke Donald, who ranks fourth in the FedExCup. The threesome tees off No. 1 at 1:06 p.m. on Thursday and No. 10 at 8:21 a.m. on Friday.

The pairings are made based on the player’s rank in the FedExCup. Donald is No. 4, Bradley fifth and Mickelson sixth.

“It’s going to be a lot of fun for me personally,” Bradley said. “I went to school down the street at St. John’s University, so it’s going to be fun to have a big crowd to show my buddies who come out from St. John’s University. It’s an honor to play with Phil any time, but to be paired with him because of how he played is even cooler. That’s a great sign for anybody to be paired with Phil.

“I’m looking forward to it. I’ve never played with Phil in a tournament before. I know it’s going to be a little crazy, but I am also looking forward to playing with Luke Donald. I just joined (The Bear’s Club) club down in Florida that he’s a member at and look forward to getting to know him.”

Veteran Golf versus Rookie http://t.co/w2EtObW

Keegan Bradley won the PGA Championship after staging an amazing comeback to force a three-hole playoff and beat Jason Dufner at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Bradley trailed by five strokes after making a triple bogey on the 15th hole and Dufner appeared to have the title wrapped up, but Bradley rallied and Dufner collapsed.

The leader put his tee shot in the water at 15, setting up the first of three straight bogeys. Bradley made birdies at 16 and 17, going to the final hole suddenly tied for the lead.

Both players made par on the 72nd hole, but Bradley won the three-hole playoff by a single stroke. He tapped in for par at the 18th hole and lifted the Wanamaker Trophy.

”I can’t believe it,” Bradley said.

In the playoff, Bradley made a 4-foot birdie at the 16th hole to gain the upper hand. Dufner nearly holed out from the fairway with his approach, but missed a 6-foot birdie try.

Bradley was in command when Dufner three-putted the 17th for a bogey, going to the final hole with a two-stroke edge. Dufner rolled in a 20-footer for birdie but it didn’t matter. Bradley two-putted from 18 feet for the win, tapping into the final hole from about a foot away.

The players were tied at 8-under 272 at the end of regulation.

”A lot of experience to be gained from that,” a dejected Dufner said.

The 25-year-old Bradley, the nephew of LPGA Hall of Fame member Pat Bradley, won the PGA in his very first appearance at a major championship. Dufner was denied his first tour win.

Going to the playoff, the US was assured of breaking its longest drought of the modern era, having gone six straight majors without winning since Phil Mickelson captured the 2010 Masters.

Anders Hansen of Denmark closed with a 4-under 66, but finished one stroke out of the playoff at 273. Robert Karlsson of Sweden, David Toms and Scott Verplank tied for fourth at 275.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — PGA Championship co-leader Keegan Bradley has made sure to soak in the sights in his first major championship.

During the first two days at Atlanta Athletic Club, Bradley saw Tiger Woods out on the course a few times and rubbed elbows with many of the game’s stars.

On Friday, Bradley, a 24-year-old PGA Tour rookie who resides in Jupiter, was anything but starry-eyed among golf’s elite.

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — The 95th PGA Championship leaderboard is a mix of youth versus experience.

Co-leader Keegan Bradley has made sure to soak in the sights in his first major championship. During his first two days at Atlanta Athletic Club, Bradley saw Tiger Woods out on the course a few times and rubbed elbows with many of the game’s stars.

On Friday, Bradley, a 24-year-old PGA Tour rookie who resides in Jupiter, was anything but starry-eyed among golf’s elite.  Ditto for Jason Dufner, who couldn’t have seen his results coming after missing the cut in his last four tournaments.

“It’s cool to look around and see all these players I have looked up to my whole life and able to be peers with them and compete at the highest level with them,” Bradley said.

At the moment, no one is competing at a higher level than Dufner and Bradley.

But right behind them, are golfers with experience.

Jim Furyk, the 2003 U.S. Open champion having his worst season since he was a rookie, emerged from his slump with a 65 and was in the group at 4-under 136 that included Scott Verplank, a former U.S. Amateur champion.

Verplank has been coping with wrist and elbow injuries longer than he cares to remember, but he’s always been a good putter and that carried him to the outright lead for much of the afternoon. He couldn’t cope with bunkers and rough along the back nine, though he left the course in good spirits after laying up on the 18th and scratching out a par.

Another shot back was Stricker, who was 11 shots worse than his record-tying start, but still in the mix.

Will post later.  We know that in golf things can change quickly.
