What happened

— A conversation with Keegan Bradley will never leave you wanting for more emotional transparency, and this is a rarity among athletes in the current generation.

Why it matters

Bradley, speaking Monday in advance of this week’s PGA Championship at Aronimink, opened several veins — speaking about his love affair with this major championship, which changed his life, and his volatile relationship with the Ryder Cup, among other things.

Common ground

Bradley, as a rookie on the PGA Tour, won the 2011 PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Perspective signals

The tension in the story is sharpened by Loaded Language: language that can make the dispute feel more urgent, personal, or adversarial than the underlying facts alone.
