It was a thrilling and emotional weekend at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, where the Travelers Championship delivered high drama and a nail-biting finish. Keegan Bradley emerged victorious, closing with a composed final-round 68 to edge out the competition by a single stroke and claim a hard-fought win.
Bradley’s final score placed him one shot ahead of both Tommy Fleetwood and Russell Henley, who shared second place. Jason Day and Harris English completed the top five, finishing just two strokes back, underscoring how tight the leaderboard was throughout the weekend.
Tommy Fleetwood entered the final round as the leader after stringing together three impressive performances with rounds of 66, 65, and a sizzling 63. However, the Englishman couldn’t maintain his momentum on Sunday, carding a disappointing 72 that ultimately cost him his first PGA Tour win.
For Bradley, the victory was more than just a trophy—it marked a significant return to form after a stretch of inconsistent play earlier in the season. The win not only boosts his confidence but also provides a much-needed spark as the PGA Tour moves into the demanding summer swing, with major championships and key tournaments ahead.
After the tournament concluded, the PGA Tour shared a poignant and widely shared video on social media, captioned with a simple yet powerful message:
“Family is always there. Win or lose.”
The video captured an emotional moment as Tommy Fleetwood embraced his family following the round. His wife, Clare, along with his stepsons Oscar and Murray, were on hand to offer their love and support, creating a touching scene that resonated deeply with fans.
The response from golf fans around the world was immediate and heartfelt. One admirer wrote, “Class guy! Feel for him.” Another added, “Tommy is a class act. I know he’ll get that win soon and go on a run. He deserves it.”
One fan tweeted directly to him:
“@TommyFleetwood1 I know you want that win, but remember—you’re one of the best golfers in the world, no matter what. That family by your side? That’s what truly matters. Keep grinding. Your time is coming.”
Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “I respect his play and the way he leads his family @TommyFleetwood1.” More praise followed, including comments like:
“Such a class act. He’s going to win soon, I can feel it.”
and
“This—this is what matters more than any trophy. Having someone in your corner.”
Despite the disappointment of another near miss, Fleetwood continues to carry himself with humility, grace, and a competitive edge. He remains one of the most respected and admired players on tour, even as that elusive first PGA Tour win continues to slip just out of reach.
While Fleetwood has racked up 10 professional victories throughout his career, all of them have come on international circuits such as the European Tour, the Sunshine Tour, or the Challenge Tour. A PGA Tour title remains the one glaring absence on an otherwise impressive résumé.
He has come close on the biggest stages, finishing as runner-up at both the 2018 U.S. Open and the 2019 Open Championship. However, recent major performances have been mixed. The 34-year-old missed the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open, ending a streak of two consecutive cuts made at majors. He finished tied for 41st at the PGA Championship and just outside the top 20 at Augusta National during the Masters.
Looking ahead, Fleetwood will have another shot at major glory at the upcoming Open Championship, set to take place July 17–20 at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. It’s a course he knows well and one that could play to his strengths. Defending champion Xander Schauffele will headline the field, but eyes will certainly be on Fleetwood, as fans and fellow pros alike hope that his moment in the spotlight is just around the corner.
