England's Tommy Fleetwood experienced yet another near miss in his pursuit of a maiden PGA Tour title, as American Keegan Bradley emerged victorious at the Travelers Championship by a single stroke. Fleetwood, who had led by two shots with three holes remaining, faltered on the final hole, allowing Bradley to capitalize and secure the win.

The Final Hole Drama

Fleetwood entered the 18th hole with a one-shot advantage. After a solid tee shot, his third shot left him with a six-foot putt for par. However, he narrowly missed, resulting in a bogey. This opened the door for Bradley, who had reached the green in two shots. Bradley coolly sank his birdie putt to claim the title, leaving Fleetwood without even a chance for a playoff.

Fleetwood's Reaction

"I'm gutted right now," Fleetwood said after the round. "Leading by two with three to play and then by one going into the last hole, only to not even make it to a playoff, is the worst way it could go."

Bradley's Comeback

Bradley, who had fallen out of contention after a bogey on the 14th hole, made a sensational comeback with a 35-foot birdie on the 15th. His approach on the 18th hole was pivotal, setting up a five-foot birdie putt that he confidently made to seal the victory.

Analysis

This defeat is particularly painful for Fleetwood, who has been in excellent form recently, finishing in the top four in two of his last five tournaments. Despite dominating much of the Travelers Championship, the pressure of the final holes proved too much. Bradley's win not only adds another title to his resume but also raises questions about his role in the upcoming Ryder Cup, where he is set to captain the U.S. team.
