Travelers Championship Payouts and Final Round Drama: Bradley Seals It, Fleetwood Falters
The Travelers Championship Final Round had it all—emotion, tension, and a finish to remember. For Keegan Bradley, it was glory. For Tommy Fleetwood, it was another heartbreak on the PGA Tour. But for fans, it was a thrilling conclusion to a stacked leaderboard Sunday—with Travelers Championship Payouts from a cool $20 million purse adding even more weight to every stroke.
J.J. Spaun Sets the Pace Early
U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun jumpstarted the final day. His 7-under-par 63 was the lowest round on Sunday. It earned him a solid T14 finish.
Harris English went on a birdie run late in the round. His 65 (-5) placed him T4. Not far behind, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy fired matching 65s. They surged into T6, reminding everyone why they dominate leaderboards.
If a few more putts had dropped, the ending could have looked very different.
Fleetwood Fights, But Falls Late
Starting with a 3-shot lead, Tommy Fleetwood stayed in control through the front nine. Birdies on 11 and 13 put him ahead. But he missed a short birdie chance on 14 that could’ve sealed the deal.
The turning point came at 16, where he went long, chipped past the flag, and made bogey. On 17, a bunker shot left him needing two putts to stay tied.
Bradley Grabs His Moment
Keegan Bradley, calm and composed, stayed within striking distance all day. On the par-4 17th hole, Tommy Fleetwood found the left bunker while Bradley was safely in the fairway. Yet Fleetwood responded with a solid approach as both players found the green in regulation. Each two-putted for par, setting up a dramatic finish on the 72nd hole.
Bradley launched a 298-yard drive down the right fairway. Fleetwood, showing nerves of steel, matched with a 288-yard drive to the left fairway. From 148 yards, Fleetwood shaped a draw that finished just on the edge of the green—not ideal, but safe. Then came the moment.
Bradley, sensing opportunity, stepped up from 138 yards and stuck his approach inside 6 feet—the best of the day under pressure.
Fleetwood putted first. His par attempt came up short and missed low, a heartbreaker. Bradley had the line. Without hesitation, he rolled in the birdie.
From one shot behind to champion in one hole—a two-shot swing, fueled by nerves, execution, and timing. It was classic Sunday pressure golf, and Keegan Bradley seized it.
From one shot behind to outright champion in just one hole—classic Sunday pressure golf.
Other Notables: Day, Henley, Hall, and Thomas
Jason Day, a former champion, made a strong run. But missed birdie chances on both par 5s and a bogey on 17 stalled his momentum. He finished T4.
Russell Henley climbed to 14-under but couldn’t cash in on the short 15th or par-5 6th. He tied for second.
Harry Hall, our sleeper pick, made a final-round 65 with an eagle and 4 birdies. He jumped 16 spots to finish T9.
Justin Thomas posted a 67, also ending T9 with Hall.
Hideki Matsuyama climbed 21 places with a 65 to salvage a T30 finish.
