WGC Bridgestone Invitational: Keegan's Back

What another wacky finish this week at another high profile golf event. Last time at The Open Championship, we saw a slow meltdown of Adam Scott, who led most of that tournament right up until the end. Today, we saw another "collapse" of sorts by Jim Furyk, who made double bogey on 18 to lose by 1 stroke over Keegan Bradley.

Keegan made an astonishing charge with solid play all day, eventually ending up with a 64. He went into the 18th hole down one and needing some magic like he had at Riviera. He made a clutch up and down by sinking a 15 footer that HAD to be made. If you couldn't see how he was able to win last year's PGA Championship, this day definitely showed how and why he did it. 

I feel very bad for Jim, however, as he led for 71 holes this week, and on the 72nd and most important, he couldn't come through. A la Phil Mickelson, all he needed was a bogey or better, but it didn't happen. Jim also had a chance to win another big tournament, the U.S. Open, earlier this summer, but he couldn't finish that off either. Hopefully he can shrug off this tough defeat and play well next week at the PGA.

What's next: Next week we have the final major of the year, the PGA Championship, fittingly dubbed "Glory's Last Shot". Many golfers will have something to prove next week. Some of the headliners are: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, and Luke Donald. There's gonna be a ton of storyline, and only one winner will come out of it. It will definitely be very compelling to watch. See you guys then.
