Keegan Bradley wins Travelers Championship with dramatic birdie on final hole
LIV Golf is a league in their own, exploding in popularity around the world. Trying to prove, that golf is for everyone.
Keegan Bradley looks just about ready to captain the United States in this year’s Ryder Cup after his clutch performance on Sunday to win the Travelers Championship by one stroke over Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley.
Bradley had the crowd at TPC River Highlands in hysteria on the 18th hole, where he needed a birdie to win this final signature event of the PGA Tour campaign.
It was rather surprising to see Bradley have this opportunity in the first place, as Fleetwood built a three-shot lead heading into Sunday, but he shot 2-over as his first PGA Tour win continued to allude him despite being a top 20 golfer in the world.

Meanwhile, Bradley stepped up to the 18th tee box shooting 1-under, which was thanks to an absolute bomb of a putt from 64 feet that drained on the 15th green. That gave him a share for the lead at 14-under for the tournament.
Bradley hit the perfect drive on 18, setting himself up with a 138-yard approach shot that he was hoping to stick close for a birdie chance for the win.
That’s exactly what happened, as he was eyeing his shot all the way to the green as it bounced and stuck less than six feet from the cup. Fleetwood, just bogeyed the par-3 16th to open the door for Bradley ended up three-putting for bogey, pushing an eight-footer on his second attempt to save par and force a playoff.
