‘Arrest Keegan Bradley’: Golf World Erupts Over Bizarre Match Play Moment

Putting is probably one of the most crucial parts of one’s golf game and the most difficult art to master. It was yet again proved by Keegan Bradley at the 2022 Dell Match Play on Wednesday. The American professional took a lot of time during his putt on one of the holes, and in the end, missed it. Golf fans did not appreciate his slow play on the green.

Keegan suffered from a classic example of slow play in his first match at the Dell Match Play. The four-time PGA Tour winner took quite a bit of time to read a short six-footer in his match. However, despite taking time, he seemed unsure about his small but testing putt, and in the end, went on to miss the putt and hit it too hard, and the ball ran past the hole.

Bradley uses an AimPoint method of reading greens like other professionals like Adam Scott. Moreover, the AimPoint method involves getting a feel of the slope of the green as a percentage from one to five from standing between the ball and hole. The slope percentage is the number of fingers you hold up while reading the putt.
