The Travelers Championship concluded on Sunday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, with hometown favorite Keegan Bradley carding a 2-under-par 68 to capture his second title at the event. 

Bradley birdied the 72nd hole to finish at 15-under, edging out England’s Tommy Fleetwood by one stroke after Fleetwood bogeyed the final hole and carded a 2-over-par 72 in the final round. 

Fleetwood had been co-leader or outright leader for 71 holes, earning him a prime opportunity to secure his elusive first PGA Tour victory. 

Instead, he joined Russell Henley at 14-under, with Harris English and Jason Day finishing two strokes back at 13-under. 

Speaking on the loss afterwards, Fleetwood said, "I’m upset now, I’m gutted, I’m angry. When it calms down, I'll look at the things that I did well, look at the things that I can learn from. I said yesterday, I haven't been in this position all year, so it's been a while. Felt like I did a lot of good things, but there was things that I definitely can do better and I have to do better."

"Right now I would love to just go and sulk somewhere, and maybe I will do, but there's just no point making it a negative for the future, really, and take the positives and move on,” Fleetwood continued.

Fleetwood turned professional in 2010 after a decorated amateur career that saw him win the 2009 Scottish Amateur Stroke Play Championship and the 2010 English Amateur. 

On the European Tour, he has secured seven titles, including two Nedbank Golf Challenge events and two Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships.

Fleetwood's major championship resume includes runner-up finishes at the 2018 U.S. Open and 2019 Open Championship, and a tied-third at the 2024 Masters.

He will now look to continue this momentum into the coming weeks as the PGA Tour heads to Detroit Golf Club for the Rocket Mortgage Classic (June 26-29), followed by the John Deere Classic in Silvis, Illinois (July 3-6).
