HENDERSON, Nev. – Dustin Keegan’s 2017 season ended in pain.

The 1007-rated Oregon pro battled a shoulder injury for much of the summer – his right bicep shifted without tearing, he said, with the ensuing nerve damage sending referral pain shooting down his arm  – and he when he finally returned home in October he was unsure it would ever heal.

“It was hard,” Keegan said. “All offseason I didn’t touch a disc right-handed for three months, and then I learned how to play left-handed. I got a left-handed hole in one.”
