Bradley rallied and won the Travelers: Epic victory! Ryder Cup in sight.

Keegan Bradley Conquers the Travelers Championship and Opens the Door to the Ryder Cup

Cromwell, Conn. – Keegan Bradley staged an epic comeback at the Travelers Championship, securing a victory that resonated strongly and rekindled the fervor of his followers. The American golfer demonstrated his composure and skill, surpassing his competitors and solidifying his position in the world of golf. Bradley, who hadn’t heard such a deafening ovation since his debut at the 2012 Ryder Cup, transformed a one-stroke deficit into a spectacular victory over Tommy Fleetwood. The triumph came on the first anniversary of his appointment as Ryder Cup captain, presenting a strong argument to take his clubs to Bethpage Black. With a combination of determination and passion, Bradley, 39, overcame a three-stroke deficit with only four holes to play. An impressive approach shot with a 9-iron left the ball 6 feet from the hole on the final hole, securing the birdie and the victory. This triumph represents his second major title in ten months. Bradley’s victory puts him in a privileged position, with more wins in the last year than any other American, with the exception of Scottie Scheffler. Currently, he occupies ninth place in the Ryder Cup standings and his best position in the world ranking, number 7.

This changes the story a bit. I never would have thought about playing if I hadn’t won. This definitely opens the door to playing. I don’t know if I will or not, but I certainly have to carefully analyze what’s best for the team.

Two birdies in the last four holes, including a 35-foot putt on the 15th hole that kept his hopes alive, led Bradley to a 68 under par for a one-stroke victory over Fleetwood (72) and Russell Henley, who birdied the 18th hole. Bradley, started the day three strokes behind Fleetwood, and didn’t lead until he holed the birdie putt in front of an euphoric crowd at TPC River Highlands.

Keegan Bradley rallies from three strokes with four holes to play and makes a birdie on the 18th hole to win the Travelers Championship on Sunday.The defeat was a hard blow for Fleetwood, who, despite his notable career, has still not achieved a victory on the PGA Tour. Fleetwood missed two short putts in the last five holes, and, despite leading by one stroke from the middle of the fairway of the 18th hole, missed his approach and needed three putts from 50 feet. Fleetwood expressed his frustration, but also his determination to learn from the experience, stating that he will not allow this result to affect his future. In the second round, Henley self-imposed a one-stroke penalty when he saw his ball move the distance of a dimple while chipping. He informed the officials and added a stroke to his score. When asked on the 18th hole whether he should play, Bradley replied: “Come on, United States!” The crowd, on a hot day, enthusiastically supported him, especially after his 65-foot birdie putt on the ninth hole. Bradley tied with Fleetwood, who had three bogeys in his first four holes in the second round. The Englishman took the lead with several birdies, until Bradley closed the gap. The 35-foot birdie on the 15th hole was crucial. Fleetwood missed on the par 3 16th hole, and a bogey narrowed the gap to one stroke, setting the stage for Bradley’s comeback. This victory is Bradley’s second at the Travelers in three years. Bradley finished with 15 under par, 265 strokes, and won $3.6 million. Previously, he won the BMW Championship last August. Harris English and Jason Day tied for fourth place, boosting their Ryder Cup aspirations. Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, who have already secured a place on the Ryder Cup team, tied for sixth place. Bradley is also confirmed for the Ryder Cup, although his specific role in the team is still unknown.
