Keegan Bradley is an emotional guy. You can see it whenever he talks about the Ryder Cup or his beloved New England Patriots. You could see it last Sunday when he won the Travelers Championship, his first title of the season.In fact, you can see it right now if you scroll through his X account.A couple of days after his spectacular performance at the TPC River Highlands, Bradley used his X account, which has over 408,000 followers, to celebrate his triumph with a poetic note — sort of an ode to his New England roots."Forgive my northern attitudeOh, I was raised out in the coldIf the sun don't rise'Til the summertimeForgive my northern attitudeOh, I was raised on little light"If you recognize these Noah Kahan lyrics, you're on the right track to understanding Bradley's feelings. Kahan is well-known for his love of New England, particularly his home state of Vermont, which is also where the eight-time PGA Tour winner was born.These sentiments are undoubtedly one of the defining themes in Kahan's work as a songwriter. Northern Attitude, the song that contains the lyrics Bradley used, is recognized as one of the most New England-rooted songs in Kahan's catalog.Winning a Signature Event as the hometown hero — the Travelers Championship is played in Connecticut — was definitely a big deal for Bradley. It's no wonder he unleashed his poetic flair by celebrating with a song so emblematic of that region.Naturally, the Travelers Championship has been a central feature of Bradley's schedule throughout his career. The 2025 edition is his second win at River Highlands, where he has two other top-10 finishes, including a second place, in 15 starts."It was the first PGA Tour event I've ever been to back when I was a kid," Bradley said after winning for the first time (2023)."I drove from Vermont and drove here to come here and watch David Duval play... Other than the majors and those types of tournaments, this was always the top of my list. What a special thing to be the winner of this tournament."Back then, Bradley also seemed emotional about winning in New England. However, his reaction was more talkative than poetic:"One of my favorite things about myself is where I'm from. The bond that you have with people from New England is different than anywhere in the world, any country I've ever been. I'm very proud," he said."I've lived all over New England, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and I'm very, very proud of where I come from. And I love every sports team in this area, so to hear the fans cheer for me like they would a sports team, it means a lot."Keegan Bradley will soon be leading the American team to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, not far from New England. He's sure to feel the fans' support there, too.More Golf: PGA Tour Rocket Classic Sees Former LIV Golfer in the Field
