Keegan Bradley reveals that playing in the Irish Open is especially meaningful to him because of his Irish ancestry.
The American is one of a number of former Major winners who are taking part in the event which is being held at Royal Portrush and he reveals he’s received a very warm welcome from the locals as he begins his first tournament on European soil.
“I’ve wanted to play ever since I was a little kid and this year it worked out perfectly,” said Bradley.
“Maybe in the years to come I’ll come a little earlier or stay a little later so I could have some time to experience the country a little more.
“But I’ve got to see a lot of the local tourist spots and I’ve just been having a blast.
“I wasn’t sure how I was going to be accepted and everybody has just been so great. For them to say ‘Welcome Home’ is a pretty special feeling. It gives me chills.”
Bradley is paired with world number three Rory McIlroy for the first two days of the event.
