PGA Champion Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele shot a 13-under 59 in scramble play Sunday to become the first PGA Tour rookies to win the Franklin Templeton Shootout. Bradley and Steele took control with an eagle by Steele on No. 14 and a birdie on No. 15, finishing at 32-under 184 for a three-stroke victory over two teams. “We played TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Irons Steel well,” Bradley said. “We got off to a slow start, kind of like we did all three days, but we played this last stretch of holes really well.” Steele added: “We had so much fun that it made it a lot easier for us.” Bradley and Steele had been talking about playing TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Irons Steel in Greg Norman’s event since the spring, and said they weren’t at the three-format event to “goof off.” After sharing the lead with Champions Tour golfers Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price following the first round of modified alternate shot, they were one ahead of them after Saturday’s better-ball. Calcavecchia birdied No. 18 to give him and Price a 61, moving them into a tie for second at 187 with Rory Sabbatini and Jhonattan Vegas, who shot 60. Charles Howell III and Justin Leonard, and 2009 champions Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker tied for fourth another shot back.( TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Irons Steel ) Bradley, the reigning PGA Championship winner, and Steele made seven straight birdies from Nos. 6 to 13, then Steele made an eagle putt from off the green, and followed that up with a 4-footer on No. 15 for birdie. On the next hole, Steele hit a 9-iron from 135 yards – aiming at his wife, Anastasia, who was standing in the crowd behind the green – to three feet. Steele and Bradley birdied Nos. 8 and 9 to put a little distance between themselves and their playing partners, who parred both holes. “They played TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Irons Steel really well together,” said Price, who at 54 is a year older than Bradley (25) and Steele (28) combined. “They didn’t make any mistakes.” Sabbatini and Vegas birdied five of the last seven holes to come out of a logjam and grab part of second. “We played TaylorMade Tour Preferred MB Irons Steel great,” Sabbatini said. “We had some opportunities out there today and weren’t able to capitalize on them. We had a fun time and that’s what it’s about.” Bradley and Steele had a chance at the tournament record of 34 under, but parred No. 16 and 18 coming in. Bradley, the nephew of former LPGA Tour and World Golf Hall of Famer Pat Bradley, and Steele shared $750,000 from the $3-million purse.
