Phil Mickelson Sends Message to Keegan Bradley After Dramatic Travelers Championship Win originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
If you’re a fan of drama, TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut was the place to be on Sunday as the Travelers Championship unfolded in stunning fashion.
Tommy Fleetwood entered the final round with a slight lead and appeared poised to capture his first career PGA Tour win, despite an impressive 41 previous top-10 finishes. However, that streak now extends to 42, as he ultimately finished tied for second.
As Fleetwood and Keegan Bradley approached the 18th green, Fleetwood held a one-shot advantage. But in a dramatic twist, he did the one thing he couldn’t afford—three-putting for a bogey. Bradley, meanwhile, calmly sank a birdie putt, flipping the script and securing his first tournament victory of the year.
Keegan Bradley finished 15-under for the tournament, shooting a final-round 68 on Sunday. Tommy Fleetwood, who began the day at 16-under, struggled down the stretch and shot a two-over-par round to drop to 14-under, finishing in a tie for second with Russell Henley. Just behind them were Jason Day and Harris English, who both closed out the four-day event at 13-under.
Following the dramatic finish, Bradley received a shoutout from PGA Tour legend and current LIV Golf star Phil Mickelson, who posted on social media: “Keegan Bradley is THE MAN!!”
Bradley’s victory at the Travelers Championship marks his first win since the 2024 BMW Championship. He remains a one-time major champion, having claimed the 2011 PGA Championship in dramatic fashion.
After Sunday’s emotional win, Bradley spoke about what the moment meant to him, especially competing close to home.
“I feel an obligation to play for the people of New England and the Northeast—to represent them—and this is the best way I can do it,” Bradley said. “Of all the shots and all the putts I’ve hit, I think I’m going to remember that one the most… Go USA.”
