Travelers’ executive vice president Andy Bessette presents Keegan Bradley with a surprise gift - his reaction showed how much of a New England sports fan he is.

Keegan Bradley turned it around on interviewer Chris Berman about his thoughts on Drake Maye.
“He has potential to be one of those really good ones,” Berman said. “He’s gonna need some receivers though.”
“That’s not a ringing endorsement,” Bradley responded.

Keegan Bradley said he didn’t know what the future of the PGA and LIV Tours, but said he thinks it would be fun to have PGA guys and LIV guys battling to win a tournament like the Travelers.
That’s a team event that would do numbers. This needs to happen.

Keegan Bradley - defending champ at the Travelers - said he liked seeing guys like Brad Faxon and Billy Andrade succeed and wanted to be that guy to represent New England like they did.
Kudos to me for not applauding victoriously at the mention of two Rhode Islanders.

My guy Jake Rousseau said he wouldn’t be able to pick this guy out of a lineup.
He worked in Vermont.

Interesting note on exemptions for the Travelers this year - in the past, they had eight for the tourney. As a signature event, they have four.
Don’t think there’s a route for RI’s up and comers to get in this year, but the potential is there for the future

If you’re a golf fan, 2024 is going to be a dream. I’m at the media day event for the Travelers Championship, which has earned signature status this season.
The top pros are going to be here, no cuts, giving fans a chance to see the best in the world for four days.

The ROY Jake Rousseau is also in on the rankings game, dropping midseason ranks for baseball with some CONTROVERSIAL selections
