Keegan Bradley was hanging around all week at the Travelers Championship. On the back nine, bogeys at 10 and 14 made it look like he might slip out of contention, but on the 18th, he stuffed a 137-yard approach to five feet and rolled it in to clinch his second Travelers Championship. Let’s take a look at the clubs Keegan had in the bag, and more importantly, the combo iron set that quietly stole the show. It’s not the kind of setup you’ll see in most Tour bags.

Keegan Bradley’s Travelers Championship winning bag:

The three model combo set

A typical combo set on Tour blends two iron models, one in the longer irons for forgiveness and consistency, and another in the scoring irons that offers more control and precision into greens. It’s a setup designed to strike a balance between launch and workability.

Keegan takes it a step further. He’s gaming three different models: ZX5 Mk II in the long irons, ZX7 Mk II in the mids, and Z-Forged II in the PW. It’s not something you see often, even on Tour.

Srixon ZX5 Mk II (3–5)

Built for consistency and forgiveness in the long irons, the ZX5 Mk II is a player’s distance iron that delivers across the board. It was the most accurate (and best overall) player’s distance iron of 2024, scoring first in accuracy, sixth in distance, and fourth in forgiveness, earning an impressive 9.6/10 overall.

The Tour V.T. Sole provides clean turf interaction while still allowing for the forged feel and a clean, Tour player-friendly look.

Srixon ZX7 Mk II (6–9)

The ZX7 Mk II slots into the scoring zone as a player’s iron with workability. In our 2023 Best Player’s Iron testing, the ZX7 Mk II was ranked second for accuracy and fourth for distance and finished in second place overall. Testers also loved the feel and sound of this iron.

It features the PureFrame design for reduced vibration, along with the Tour V.T. Sole and progressive grooves to balance launch and turf interaction.

Srixon Z‑Forged II (PW)

Here’s where Bradley’s bag starts to get a little more quirky. Instead of sticking with the ZX7 in the pitching wedg,e he switches to the Z-Forged II. This is a classic blade-style iron built for feel and precision.

Srixon’s official specs highlight a billet 1020 carbon steel build, PureFrame mass placement, and progressive grooves. It’s a true players’ club meant for scoring, and it seemed to work quite well for Bradley at the Travelers.

Is a combo set right for your game?

Combo sets offer the best of both worlds. You get the distance, forgiveness, and launch you need in the long irons and the precision and control required in your scoring clubs, without having to build three completely different iron sets.

However, most brands don’t offer much continuity between their iron models. Blending can involve addressing mismatched lofts, offsets, sole widths, or turf interaction.

That’s where Srixon stands out.

The ZX line was specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly across models. Toplines are consistent, lofts transition logically, and the soles are shaped to maintain the same feel through the turf. Srixon even offers an online combo set builder that lets you visualize and build your ideal mix.

Final thoughts

Keegan Bradley might have a quirky setup, and sure, three-iron models are anything but typical, but there’s no arguing with the results. This is a guy who once thought his Ryder Cup days were behind him. Now, he’s not only the captain, but he might be playing his way back into the mix. Whatever he’s doing, it’s working, and we can’t ignore the clubs he has in play.
