Gresh & Zo With Keegan Bradley: Reflecting On His PGA Championship Win

BOSTON (CBS) - Keegan Bradley won the PGA Championship Sunday in a three-hole playoff win over Jason Dufner at Atlanta Athletic Club. Bradley joined Gresh, Zo, Hardy and Dan Shaughnessy to reflect on his big playoff win in the PGA Championship and his local roots.

Has the win had time to sink in yet?

"It's such a cliche to say, but it honestly hasn't. I got the trophy in front of me which is about as real as it can seem, but I'm just trying to realize and fathom what just happened. It's remarkable," said Keegan.

The guys went on to discuss what was going through his head on the 16th hole when Bradley was down 5-strokes to Jason Dufner with only three holes left in regulation.

"You know for a split second I let myself think I blew this tournament. Then literally two seconds later I was like you know what let's get this together," said Keegan, who graduated from Hopkinton High in 2004.

The gang went on to ask Bradley about the drive on the 17th and his fabulous putt that followed. Many other golfers had missed their attempts from similar locations on the green, how was he able to calm his nerves knowing he was really in a "must-make" situation with a very long putt?

"I hit that putt in the practice round a bunch of times and I knew it was straighter than it looked," Keegan recalled. "I don't know where people were missing it, but I remember hitting it and right at the last second I made this last little adjustment a little further to the left."

They went on to discuss his caddie Steven Hale, how he got his nicknamed "Pepsi," coming home to play in front of the hometown crowd at the Deutsche Bank Championship Labor Day weekend.

This and much more with the PGA Champion.
