Keith Mitchell vs. Keegan Bradley

2026 John Deere Classic

July 5, 2026
img7:00 AM Eastern

Keith Mitchell's game has been rounding into form at the right time, with a tied fourth at the U.S. Open two weeks ago and a top-25 finish at Travelers right behind it. The bigger story is what's happening with the putter: Mitchell has gained strokes on the greens in four of his last six starts, and that's the exact piece that's kept him from cashing at TPC Deere Run before. Pair a hot flat stick with the driving and iron play that are already working, and I like how the pieces are lining up this week. Keegan Bradley has been steady, with five top-25s in his last nine starts and irons striking as well as they have all season, and the course's premium on wedge-to-green play fits him well. But his results lately have been solid without being sharp, a run of mid-teens and low-20s finishes rather than the kind of week that signals he's ready to contend. Mitchell is carrying the sharper form into the matchup. Mitchell is the play.
