Tommy Fleetwood has touching moment with wife after crushing Travelers Championship finish

This was the other side of a thrilling moment for Keegan Bradley.

Bradley was cheered on by fans chanting “U-S-A” as he enjoyed a victory at the Travelers Championship in his home area of Connecticut, while Tommy Fleetwood experienced yet another close miss at a PGA Tour event, leaving the 18th green feeling disappointed and frustrated.

Fleetwood was seen embracing his wife, Clare, after he bogeyed 18 to allow Bradley to steal the win with a clutch birdie putt.

Fleetwood, 34, now has 42 career top-10s without a victory on the PGA Tour as he continues to come up short in the biggest moments.

Fleetwood expressed his current feelings to reporters, stating his plans to reflect on his performance, acknowledge his strengths, identify areas for improvement, and strive for better outcomes in the future. Despite feeling like he executed many positive aspects during the tournament, he acknowledged there is room for enhancement.

Fleetwood had a three-stroke lead heading into Sunday, but bogeyed three of the first four holes to open the door for Bradley and Russell Henley.

Fleetwood still held a one-shot lead at TPC River Highlands heading into the final hole and drilled his driver down the middle of the fairway.

Following a moment of uncertainty in selecting his club, Fleetwood’s approach shot fell just short of the green. Meanwhile, Bradley made an impressive shot that landed five feet away from the hole, and Henley’s birdie putt brought him within a shot of the lead.

Fleetwood left his first putt just shy of Bradley’s mark, then missed his putt on the right side. Bradley, a Vermont native and St. John’s grad, dramatically drilled his putt for the win.

It was the final signature event of the season, and Bradley earned $3.6 million with the win. Fleetwood and Henley got $1.76 million each for their second-place tie.

“The stupid thing to do would be to make this a hindrance to what you do going forward,” Fleetwood said. “I obviously played great, I put myself in a great position, I was leading the tournament for 71 holes. I just want to make sure I can put myself in this position as soon as possible again and try and correct what I did this time… There’s just no point in making it a negative for the future.”

Bradley’s win adds more intrigue to his Ryder Cup situation, with calls growing for him to select himself as a member of the 12-player American squad for the September showdown with Europe at Bethpage Black.

He is currently in ninth place in the standings, with six players automatically qualifying for the team and the other six being the captain’s choices.

“This changes the story a little bit,” Bradley, 39, said. “I never would have thought about playing if I hadn’t won. This definitely opens the door to play. I don’t know if I’m going to do it or not, but I certainly have to take a pretty hard look at what’s best for the team.”
