The PGA Grand Slam of Golf

After posting a 4-under-par 67 to share the first-round lead at Port Royal Golf Course in Bermuda, Keegan Bradley found himself clinging to the lead over the final 18 holes on a gusty day, Oct. 19. He needed a hard-earned par on the 18th hole to hold off Masters Champion Charl Schwartzel to capture the "Champion of Champions" title.

The fourth youngest player to win the PGA Grand Slam of Golf, the 25-year-old Bradley holed a five-footer on the 18th to complete an even-par 71, and finish at 4-under-par 138. That was a stroke better than Schwartzel, who sizzled on the front nine with five consecutive birdies on the way to a course record-tying 6-under 65.

Bradley took home $600,000, and Schwartzel $300,000. Reigning U.S. Open Champion Rory McIlroy, shot a 142 and earned $250,000, while Open Champion Darren Clarke, closed with a 151, and pocketed $200,000.

Established in 1979, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf has grown from an 18-hole, single-day affair to a 36-hole annual showdown that matches professional golf's best against each other for a $1.35 million purse, played in front of a television audience in more than 100 countries.
