In a gripping finale at the 2025 Travelers Championship, Keegan Bradley emerged victorious for the second time in three years, clinching the title with a dramatic birdie on the final hole. The win came at the expense of England’s Tommy Fleetwood, who missed a crucial par putt on the 18th green after leading late into the round. Bradley, playing at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, fired a final-round 68 to finish at 15-under-par 265, edging both Fleetwood and Russell Henley by one stroke.
Bradley's victory was not just another PGA Tour win; it was a moment of personal significance. The 39-year-old Vermont native treated the event as his home tournament, celebrating the one-year anniversary of being named the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup captain with an emphatic win. “Of all the shots and all the putts I’ve hit, I think I’m going to remember that one the most,” Bradley said of his six-foot birdie on the 18th. Earlier in the round, he also delivered a stunning 64-foot birdie on the ninth hole.
Fleetwood, ranked 17th in the world and the Olympic silver medallist, saw his hopes of a maiden PGA Tour title crumble with late bogeys at the 16th and 18th. “I’m upset now, I’m angry. It hurts,” he admitted after registering his 42nd career top-10 PGA finish. Despite leading most of the day, Fleetwood’s change of club choice and an errant final approach shot left him short of a playoff opportunity, compounding his frustration.
The tournament also featured strong performances from Jason Day and Harris English, who tied for fourth at 13-under, while top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy both shot 65 to share sixth. Scheffler, fresh off a major win, was satisfied with his closing bogey-free round. McIlroy, meanwhile, expressed optimism ahead of July’s Open Championship, noting “good, positive vibes” heading into the summer stretch.
