I just want to thank The PGA of America for having me out today. I got to play with this guy Q. Watching the video with all of the here and Joe and Rob, and they showed me some champions that this tournament has, and what places not to hit it during the PGA. So that was it means to be one of those champions. the biggest help of the day so far (laughter). KEEGAN BRADLEY: It's an unbelievable But thanks to all for coming, and that was feeling. It kind of hits home what I've done really, a cool video. It still gives me a panic attack is times like this. At the Grand Slam, also. watching that stuff, but thanks a lot. But you know, seeing those names and JULIUS MASON: Let's talk about what knowing that these guys have held this trophy -- happened on the golf course today.

And it kind of let's you Let's talk about each one. know what you've done; that you're part of history; First birdie on No. 2, what did you hit? seeing Tiger, Ben Hogan. Sometimes, it kind of KEEGAN BRADLEY: Yeah, the second sounds cliché, but it seems like a dream that it hole is a nice par 5. I hit it right up in front. Pin happened and it's awesome to see it in real life like was tucked front left. I got it up-and-down. In the that. Because I can't watch highlights. I literally tournament, I don't think that will be possible. The have a borderline panic attack. You guys forced greens will be a little faster. But I was able to get me to watch it there and I enjoyed it. that up-and-down for a birdie. JULIUS MASON: No. 7. Q. This is a big deal in this area and in KEEGAN BRADLEY: No. 7, another par this state that one of golf's four major 5. Kiawah has amazing par 5s, and 7 is a good championships is coming here.

August and I guess what it's going to take to The guys gave it to me. (Laughter). win here. JULIUS MASON: No. 11. KEEGAN BRADLEY: I love this area, KEEGAN BRADLEY: No. 11, let's see, South Carolina. This golf course is going to be another par 5. That's another one where my spectacular. If the wind blows, I think that the length is helpful on this course and I was able to hit winning score could be over par. I'm not sure what it up right near the green and chipped it up. They the greens are going to be like, what the rough is might have given me that one, too. I tried to tell my going to be like, but it's going to be challenging no playing partners on my off-weeks, I don't like to matter what the weather. But if the weather is putt 4-footers, so they probably gave it to me. tough, I think the winning score could be over par. JULIUS MASON: No. 12 for birdie. But I know talking to a lot of the players, KEEGAN BRADLEY: No. 12, that's the everybody loves this area. Everybody loves drivable -- yeah. I did the play-up/lay-up. I hit coming down here. We are looking forward to driver over in the back bunker and got it coming to South Carolina for this tournament. up-and-down for birdie. That's going to be a crucial hole in the tournament, and I love how the Q. What kind of a player do you think PGA is doing something like that. will have an advantage on this course come They did it on Sunday at Atlanta, too, and August? it's just going to be a really exciting hole and it's KEEGAN BRADLEY: I think that it's going going to be probably where the winner is going to to be a complete player that wins this tournament. pull ahead or hit it in the water. It's going to be a I think you need to drive it well. And also, you great hole. need to hit it in the correct area on the greens and JULIUS MASON: And 13?

Whatever the PGA or USGA or seriously, you dream about as a kid.

Let's talk about the length of the you want around here but if the wind switches course for just a moment. 7,600 yards, around -- today, if the wind switches to where it's championship tees, seems these majors are with on the last couple of holes, it's a different golf getting longer and longer. Do you think that's course. I think that your tee time, you could get a fair for the game? good and bad wave on the tee times. That's just KEEGAN BRADLEY: I do think it's fair for luck of the draw. the game, as long as it's a fair setup. You know, if But I think that it's as hard as they say it is, we are playing a hole that's 250 yards par 3 and and I think during the tournament, I was talking the wind switches around, that's going to be brutal. about how high the rough's going to be -- there's But the PGA has done an unbelievable job of not much rough, so it's going to be a definite setting the course up. challenge. On Sunday at Atlanta, they set the course I know when you come to a Major up unbelievably. I know as players, we don't have Championship, I have only played in one of them, any worries.

Keegan, you never said how many bogeys But I'm looking forward to it a lot, and you got today. I know you got five birdies but did looking forward to getting near Charleston and you get any bogeys? seeing the city and all that stuff. KEEGAN BRADLEY: They only asked me about the birdies.

This tournament, would your father the Senior PGA Championship, we did have some ever play in the PGA? Did he ever try to qualify issues with balls plugging high in places that as a club professional? looked basically unplayable. KEEGAN BRADLEY: He never played in In consultation with Pete and talking about the PGA Championship. He never got to play in it, we determined that it was an unfair playing the club pro, either. But he's more proud of his condition frankly. So we did alter those faces, and PGA Class A status than anybody I've ever met. we have sodded them with paspalum; and the So winning this Wannamaker, I got to have him intent to be that if you hit it in that area, it will go hold it recently and take pictures with it.

Although today I hit one in the face fitting that this was my first one, and makes it even and it plugged, so we'll have to talk to Jeff about better. that before we get to the event. But there have been some changes on Q. I remember reading where he had a some of the bunkers on the golf course, on 2, the bag tag saying, "I'm Pat's brother." Does he complexes were changed a little bit; on 5 they were have a new bag tag saying, "I'm Keegan's changed; on 12 they were changed; on 13 there father"? were bunkers added around the fairway and KEEGAN BRADLEY: We joke around around the green the configuration was changed. because my uncles and my dad used to have a But all of it was done to define the bag tag saying "Pat's brother" and now they say bunkers, also, and to make sure that when a ball "Keegan's uncle". We are going to get one for Pat hit into that area, that it would wear down the face saying "Keegan's aunt." It will be a good joke. It is and then the sand, and not get embedded up in the funny how things change, but Pat is still my biggest face. fan of anybody and we are having a great time I think that's some of the changes that together. Pete made when he came back and I think it's really enhanced the quality of the golf course Q. Here at Kiawah, there are no without changing the challenge that I think the bunkers, they are waste areas, and I don't know players face there. if there's any major championships that have that.

3.22.12 7 visit our archives at asapsports.com We are going to be able to park between 10,0000 and 12,000 cars on the front of the island on acreage we have cleared and prepared there. I would tell people, wherever you're coming from, coming out to Kiawah, you are going to have to add ten or 15 or 20 minutes to get out here, because there's going to be traffic between 7:00 and 11:00 in the morning when we anticipate the highest traffic congestion. We will have a very effective method to direct people where they should go and get them in and get them out. We also have a system that we believe all of the players will be staying on the island, so we can make sure that they at least don't miss a tee time, which is important. So we have gone through a lot of planning, and I think we have a great plan and we'll execute it. We want the story of this event to be the great play of the players and nothing else. JULIUS MASON: Just adding on that, ladies and gentlemen, the plan is really, really good, and managing spectator expectations is a part of that plan. So for you, for your viewers, for your readers, thank you for helping us communicate that logistical plan to all of the ticket holders. FastScripts by ASAP Sports ...
