Keegan Bradley’s BMW Championship Win Becomes a Cherished Father-Son Moment

Must read

Keegan Bradley’s victory at the BMW Championship was made even more special with his father, Mark, by his side, marking the first time Mark witnessed his son’s PGA Tour triumph in person.

Bollywood Fever: Mark Bradley had grown accustomed to watching his son, Keegan Bradley, win from afar, but that all changed on Sunday at the BMW Championship in Denver. 

Keegan’s triumphant 50th-to-first win wasn’t just another victory on the PGA Tour—it was a deeply sentimental moment as his father was finally there to see it in person.

The journey to Denver wasn’t planned. Mark had been playing golf back in Wyoming, nervously checking his phone as Keegan teetered on the edge of qualifying for the next round in the FedExCup standings. 

At one point, Keegan was 51st, just outside the cutoff. But when Mark saw his son move back into the top 50, he decided then and there that he had to be in Denver.

“I looked at Bernie [Wirth] and said, ‘I’m going,’” Mark recalled.

Mark had missed all of Keegan’s previous six PGA Tour victories, including his major win at the 2011 PGA Championship.

Each time, Mark celebrated alone, either at home or at the Jackson Hole Golf & Tennis Club, where he worked as the club professional. 

Despite his absence, he always supported his son from afar, raising his arms in quiet triumph whenever Keegan lifted a trophy.

This time was different. With his father by his side, Keegan’s win at the BMW Championship became a shared moment they had both longed for. 

Mark, now retired, faced no obstacles in making the spontaneous trip to Colorado. The timing was perfect.

On Sunday, as Keegan hit a remarkable five-iron shot on the 17th hole to set up a birdie, the victory was all but clinched. 

Mark, who remained calm throughout, finally got to celebrate with his son in person. When Keegan made his final putt, the two shared a moment they had dreamed of for years—raising their arms in victory, not through a TV screen, but face-to-face on the 18th green.

“It’s a special thing to win on the PGA Tour, and it’s something that you really have to cherish,” Keegan said, acknowledging the significance of having his father there.

For Mark, the victory was more than just another win; it was the culmination of years of support, patience, and a father’s quiet pride. 

This time, when Keegan raised his arms in celebration, his father was there to embrace him, making the moment all the more unforgettable.
