Keegan Bradley made a birdie on the 72nd hole to win the Travelers Championship on Sunday after Tommy Fleetwood bogeyed.

Bradley, who trailed by three strokes with four holes left and entered 18 a shot back of Fleetwood, stuffed his approach to set up a six-foot birdie putt for the win.

Here's the winning putt:

"Of all the shots and all the putts I've hit, I think I'm gonna remember that one the most," Bradley told CBS Sports' Amanda Balionis.

It's Bradley's eighth career PGA TOUR victory and his second time winning the Travelers after doing so in 2023. TPC River Highlands is roughly 150 miles from Bradley's hometown of Woodstock, Vermont.

"Absolutely incredible," Bradley said. "I feel an obligation to play for the people of New England in the northeast and represent them, and this is the best way I can do it."

Fleetwood left his approach on 18 short of the green and couldn't save par after a poor first attempt. He entered the day with a three-shot lead in search of his first PGA TOUR victory in his 159th career start.

"I'm upset now," Fleetwood said following the round. "I'm angry."

He added: "Right now, I would love to just go and sulk somewhere, and maybe I will, but there's just no point in making it a negative for the future. Just take the positives and move on."

The Englishman's 42 career top-10 finishes are the most by a player without a win in the last 40 years on the PGA TOUR. Fleetwood has won 10 times in his professional career, including seven victories on the DP World Tour.
