Byron Nelson Championship 2012 Preview: Keegan Bradley Returns To Defend 2011 Title
Will Keegan Bradley be able to defend his title at the 2012 Byron Nelson Championship?
Many eyes will be on Matt Kuchar following his Players Championship win, his fourth career PGA Tour victory. He’s been paired with Vijay Singh, the 2003 winner, and Padraig Harrington. Phil Mickelson, just like Bradley, is in a pairing of previous winners. Mickelson’s victory dates all the way back to 1996, while Ernie Els’ is from 1995. Adam Scott is the most recent winner in that trio, taking the victory in 2008.
