Tommy Fleetwood gets 100% real about being on verge of first PGA Tour win
The post Tommy Fleetwood gets 100% real about being on verge of first PGA Tour win appeared first on ClutchPoints. Tommy Fleetwood got 100% honest about being on the verge of winning his first tournament on the PGA Tour. The No. 17 player in the world has had a productive career, winning seven European Tour titles and finishing in the top five of all four majors. In addition, Fleetwood won a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics representing Great Britain. But the 34-year-old is now at -16 and up three strokes at the Travelers Championship and trying to complete a career-first. Advertisement And Fleetwood is clearly excited, especially after shooting a 63 on the third day. In an interview with Golfweek's David Dusek, the English golfer gave a statement on reaching this career milestone. 'I would love to win on the PGA Tour. I think it's like an element of your career that everybody wants. I've given myself like a back-end chance a couple of times this year, but I've not been in contention. So this is like my first real chance, so I'm really excited about that and looking forward to it.' Fleetwood has several elite challengers behind him. Keegan Bradley and Russell Henley both sit at -13 with Henley shooting a 61 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Jason Day is the next closest contender at -11, with everyone else being -8 or farther back. Fleetwood, however, has to like his chances, and it's long overdue considering all that he's accomplished in his career. There is some light rain that's projected for Sunday, and winds are expected to be at around 11 mph. It won't necessarily be easy for Fleetwood to keep his three-shot lead, especially on a course that many players are starting to find their rhythm on. However, the veteran is the favorite to win the Travelers Championship and has done the work to put himself in this position. Fleetwood is also finding his best form when he's needing it the most in this tournament. It's time to close the deal now.

Dom Amore: In dramatic Travelers finish, Keegan Bradley, Captain America, was Captain Clutch
CROMWELL — Sooner or later, the sun begins to set, the crowd gathers, but falls silent and the storylines fade to irrelevance. And then all that remains are those few precious feet and inches of real estate between the ball and the 18th hole. The Travelers Championship has long been known for moments like these, just after 6 p.m. on a Sunday. The grandstands, balconies and hills surrounding and overlooking the green were all packed with people craning to see if their guy, Keegan Bradley, 'Captain America' could be Captain Clutch again. Advertisement Keegan Bradley overtakes Tommy Fleetwood, wins 2025 Travelers Championship on final hole Bradley's brilliant putting all day kept the pressure on leader Tommy Fleetwood, and his terrific approach shot left him with a makeable putt for birdie and a potential tie. Fleetwood's miss of an 8-foot putt for par then gave Bradley a layup, a pocket-hanger, a fastball down the middle, depending on your sport of choice, a very similar putt for birdie and the $3.6 million Travelers Championship first prize. And, seasoned veteran that he is, and as much as this tournament in his backyard means to him, Bradley didn't miss. He rolled it in, and the celebrations began. Advertisement 'It was insane, the crowd and the atmosphere and the scene there,' Bradley said, 'and I just did a great job of, like staying present, because that could have got me out of my routine, out of what I was doing, but I did a good job of staying in my little zone.' Then it was time to circle back to the storylines. Fleetwood, an international star, had never won on the PGA Tour despite 41 top-ten finishes, a record for such close-without-the-cigar finishes. Make that 42. He came into Sunday with a 3-stroke lead, the Travelers was his to lose and, obviously, he lost it, going 2-over par on the final day. Three bogeys on the first four holes, his putter deserted him, and he spent the increasingly tense afternoon hanging on as the world's best made their pushes from far back. Bradley, born in Vermont, lived in Massachusetts, St. John's grad, the winner of the Travelers in 2023, would not go away. He made a 64-foot putt for birdie on the ninth hole, the longest putt he's made all year. Then a 37-footer for birdie on 15 to pull within a stroke and set up the dramatic finish. When Fleetwood hit the fairway on 18, he seemed to be in control, but his second shot was far short. Bradley had the opening he needed. Advertisement Adding to the drama, Bradley is the captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup team that will face Europe in September, and he has carried himself perfectly in that role, without selfishness, vowing not to put himself on the team unless he qualified on points. A respected player to begin with, he has only earned more. So chants of 'U-S-A, U-S-A' have followed him everywhere, replacing the old 'Kee-gan, Kee-an' heard the first time he won in Cromwell. Calls of 'Captain America,' too. The U.S. hasn't had a playing captain on the Ryder Cup team since 1963, but this captain has won his eighth tournament, his first of his season. He has the prerogative to pick six of the 12 players on the U.S. team. Fleetwood is likely to be on Team Europe when play gets underway at Bethpage Black on Long Island. Dom Amore: Keegan Bradley has new title, Captain America. His Travelers followers will let him hear it 'My whole life, every year I was out here I wanted to play on the Ryder Cup team,' Bradley said, 'and then this would be the first year where maybe I didn't want to. I just wanted to be the captain and, of course, you know, this is what happens. But we'll see. I'm going to do whatever I think is best for the team. Whether that's me on the team, this certainly changes a lot of things. I was never going to play on the team unless I had won a tournament and so that's changed, but we'll see.' Advertisement Bradley's captaincy superseded the normal instinct of the golfing fan to root for the underdog, the player who has never won, the player trying to loosen an onus around his neck. That player was the U.K.-born Fleetwood, a gracious competitor. 'Keegan made birdie, so fair play to him,' Fleetwood said. 'But still feel like from where I was, I should at least be in a playoff. So, yeah, it's a crappy way to finish. Like, 16 and 18, just disappointing and sort of hitting pretty decent shots, really, that left myself with work to do and didn't clean it up, either of those really. There was a number of them.' Bradley, though, has a special bond with the fans at the Travelers, who again gathered by the tens of thousands at the TPC River Highlands once the morning rain drifted away for the final round. 'If there's one guy around here that you're going to go against, obviously, Keegan's going to get the majority of support,' Fleetwood said. 'I felt like the crowd was great with all week. I always feel like I'm very lucky with how the people are with me and how they warm to me. I enjoyed playing — it was a great atmosphere to play in. It really was. I enjoyed that side of it.' Advertisement The Travelers has had to go to playoff holes 25 times in its history. Four years ago, it took eight playoff holes before Harris English outlasted Kramer Hickok just before darkness set in. Scottie Scheffler, the No.1 player in the world, won in a playoff in 2024. This time, the playoff was averted, but he exciting finish was encased in drama, and unforgettable it was. And Keegan Bradley left another memory. He is the eighth to win multiple championships at this event, and those folks become royalty around here. 'Well, I'm proud of the way I've been handle these situations over the past, say, five years,' Bradley said.

Keegan Bradley stuns Tommy Fleetwood to capture second Travelers win
The post Keegan Bradley stuns Tommy Fleetwood to capture second Travelers win appeared first on ClutchPoints. Keegan Bradley has won the Travelers Championship for the second time in his career, stunning Tommy Fleetwood. Just two years ago, the New England-born Bradley fired up the Connecticut crowd. On Sunday, the 2025 Ryder Cup captain did it again with a stunning win on the 72nd hole. Fleetwood roared to a three-stroke lead after a seven-under 63 on Saturday. But Fleetwood wobbled early in the final round, allowing Bradley and many other players to re-enter the competition. Bradley was far from perfect on Sunday, but was just one shot down entering the final hole. Advertisement Fleetwood and Bradley both found the fairway, and the Englishman went first. He changed his club before the shot, a classic sign of overthinking, and pushed it left. Bradley stepped up and hit the shot of the tournament, sticking his approach less than six feet from the pin. Fleetwood three-putted the 18th green, while Bradley jarred his birdie try for the win. Fleetwood remains winless in his PGA Tour career, finishing second in his 159th start on the Tour. He does have eight international wins, but has not solved North American soil yet. This is, however, a great bounce back from last week, when he missed the cut at the U.S Open. Bradley bogeyed the par-four 14th while Fleetwood made a par. That re-opened a three-shot difference between the two, which is how the day started. But two sloppy bogeys from Fleetwood paired with two great birdies from Bradley made the difference. Advertisement Both Fleetwood and Bradley will be main characters at the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black. Bradley is the United States captain and could be the first playing captain since 1963. Fleetwood has been a European mainstay and is having a solid season despite this heartbreaking loss. Vermont's Keegan Bradley has won the Travelers Championship in Connecticut for the second time.
