Keegan Bradley expanded the wait of Tommy Fleetwood for a first PGA Tour title after he had a dramatic victory in an exciting finish of the Travelers Championship.
Fleetwood took a lead of three shots in the last day in TPC River Highlands and recovered from three bogeys in his first four holes to stay at the top of the rankings on the way to the final holes.
Bradley was three back with four to play, but closed on Fleetwood with a 35-foot Birdie on the 15th, after he had helped from 65 feet earlier in his round, with the captain of Ryder Cup coming in one when his playing partner came the Parthree Boog next time.
Fleetwood remained on his way to the last hole, where he was three times off the edge for a closing bogey when Bradley fired his approach on six feet and converted a tournament-winning Birdie.
Bradley’s dramatic finish closed a semi-detached and saw him the week ending in 15, with Fleetwood ending a shot back in bound second next to Russell Henley after a final round 68.

The overnight advantage of Fleetwood was immediately cut on the four-four, where he did not go up and down to save the greenside bunker when Henley made a 12-feet birdie.
The Englishman responded with a five-foot bird to the next, where Henley dropped a shot, to fall back in a part of the pipe next to Bradley after successive three-puts bogeys on his next two holes.
Bradley Bogey Bogey the Parfive Sixth but with Fleetwood retired after an extraordinary 65-foot Birdie at the Par-Four Ninth, leaving the couple at 14 under the bend while the pursuit package continued to dot.
Fleetwood ran back when Bradley doubled the 10th Bogey Bogey and his lead with a 15-foot Birdie in the next par-three, and then saw an attempt of 20 feet on the parth 12th tormenting pain in the goal.
Both players benefited from the Parfive 13th, where Henley also made Birdie, while Bradley’s title challenging was published on the next parc-by-end that Fleetwood missed a six-foot Birdie Kans a bogey three three.
Bradley kept his apparently slender hope alive after the hole of long distance on the four-four-year-old, with Fleetwood’s lead halved when he long went off the green on the next par-three and did not succeed in getting up and down for par.
Fleetwood Safe The 17th Hole Seconds to keep his one -off benefit on the way to the last, where the indecision with his approach shot ended it on the front of the green.
A poor first putt ended seven feet shortage of the gap and Fleetwood missed his next attempt for par, watching him while Bradley converted his putt to want to party on the 18th Green.
The second place of Tommy Fleetwood is his sixth on the PGA Tour
Fleetwood finished bound second with Henley, who took the last one out of the rugged on the Par-four to finish at 14 under, while Bradley’s victory is his eighth PGA Tour title and improves that he is a play box in the Ryder Cup in September.
Harris English and Jason Day shared fourth place at 13 Under, with World No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Rory Mcilroy a further blow back in bound second after both cards of the last round 65s.
