Keegan Bradley pulled off a stunning win at TPC River Highlands on Sunday afternoon, one that could very well put him in a position to be a playing captain at the Ryder Cup this fall.
Bradley rallied back from a three-shot deficit and birdied the final hole to secure a win at the Travelers Championship. It marked the eighth win of his career and his first this season on the PGA Tour. Bradley, with his 2-under 68, overtook Tommy Fleetwood — who started the day with a three-shot advantage and only needed to make a par on the 18th to force a playoff.

As a result, Bradley also earned a $3.6 million check in what was the final signature event of the Tour’s season.
Most of the Tour’s signature events carry a $20 million purse, which is among the most up for grabs anywhere in golf this season. The Players Championship leads the way with a $25 million purse, and the U.S. Open had a $21.5 million purse last week. That sent J.J. Spaun home with a $4.3 million check for his win at Oakmont.
Here’s a look at how much Bradley and the rest of the field earned this week at TPC River Highlands.
