Bradley’s Final-Hole Birdie at Travelers Championship Reignites Playing Captain Debate

Bradley’s win could lead to his selection as a playing captain on Team USA for this fall’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Overview

  • Keegan Bradley drained a six-foot birdie putt on the 18th to finish at 15-under par and claim his eighth PGA Tour title at TPC River Highlands.
  • The victory pushed Bradley to ninth in Ryder Cup standings and a career-high seventh in the Official World Golf Ranking, prompting consideration of added playing duties.
  • During the on-course celebrations, Bradley’s two sons were each presented with replica trophies by the PGA Tour.
  • Tommy Fleetwood, who held the lead for most of the final round, bogeyed the closing hole to finish one stroke behind Bradley.
  • Fleetwood’s runner-up result marked his 42nd top-10 finish without a PGA Tour win, the most by any player in the last four decades.
