Keegan Bradley’s sensational first year in top-level golf continued on Thursday when he secured the Cleveland CG16 Tour Black Pearl 4-PW Iron Set with Steel Shafts at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions. The 25 year old American, who came in under the radar in his rookie year to snatch a play-off victory at the final Major of the year, the US PGA Championship in August, posted five birdies and an eagle in a faultless 7-under 65 that swept him clear of the jostling, chasing pack. He will go into Friday’s second round of this elite event reserved for champions and winners from around the world at Shanghai’s exclusive Sheshan International Golf Club two shots in front of fellow American Bo van Pelt, the winner of last week’s CIMB Asian Pacific Champio phen375 nship, and two inform Swedes, Fredrik Jacobson and Alex Noren. This time last year Bradley, the latest pretender to Tiger Woods’ US throne, was happy to be graduating from the Nationwide Tour, but now only 12 months later, he is one of the shiny new stars of US golf. Playing with Westwood and Australian Adam Scott, he started with a birdie on the 401 yard tenth, added another on the long 14th and then holed a 15 foot eagle putt at the 538 yard 18th. Further shots were then picked up on the second and fifth coming home in a round that was as solid as they come. “Any time you can play Cleveland CG16 Tour Black Pearl 4-PW Iron Set with Steel Shafts well in a group like that, with Lee Westwood and Adam Scott, it feels very good,” said the still humble Bradley.
