A DUMB-FOUNDED Keegan Bradley said even he was taken aback by his excessive spitting as he watched television replays of his play during the final round of last week's Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles.
Bradley ended up losing a three-way playoff for the title at Riviera Country Club, and was initially surprised his on-course expectorating had sparked widespread criticism on Twitter. However, once he saw for himself how much he spat during his pre-shot routine, the PGA Championship winner issued a public apology on his Twitter account.
"To be honest with you, I really had no idea I was doing it," Bradley told reporters. "And I feel bad. It's something that I'm going to work on and I just ask everybody to just kind of bear with me as I go through this, because it's something I've done without even knowing it. I'm going to truly work on it. It might take some time but I will do my best to stop. It's something that I'm glad that's come up, because I'm able to kind of nip it now. It's just a thing where I'm watching myself."
