Keegan Bradley

Waialae Country Club

Press Conference

THE MODERATOR: Keegan, not how you wanted it to end, but recap the week for us.

KEEGAN BRADLEY: I mean, it was a great week. I played great. I played good enough to win.

But sometimes it's just not quite good enough, and that was one of these weeks.

Q. Is there anything about the day, one moment that's in your mind right now, or is it a few overall --

KEEGAN BRADLEY: I mean, I played great all day. I scored. I didn't play my best today, which is sometimes really hard to shoot 67 on Sunday in the last group when you're not playing your absolute best.

But made a couple really big putts on the back, some nice two-putts.

I'm having trouble putting words together. I'm pretty bummed out but excited to get back in a couple weeks at Torrey.

Q. Is there anything right now that's positive? You still beat obviously the majority of the field, but you have that sting. Can you think positive at all or is it just complete sting?

KEEGAN BRADLEY: It's tough right now. This is one of the hardest losses I've ever had in my career, if not the hardest, because of just how long I fought, hung in there. Playing in the last group with the lead is hard on the TOUR. I've done a really good job of doing that the last couple years.

Proud of the way I played today, but I just needed a 4-iron on that 18th that one time there. But next time -- I'll learn from what happened today. I know I can hang in there with not my best game, and I'm proud of that.

Q. Talk about recovering mentally and still giving yourself a chance to win.

KEEGAN BRADLEY: Yeah, I was just trying to hit a cut hybrid in there, and it didn't cut. I double-crossed it. Actually everyone was okay, thank goodness, but I was actually in a decent spot. It's kind of a tough up and over there. I felt pretty good. It's just a tough putt around there, just very flat where that hole is, and I was having trouble reading it, both those putts.
