For the second time in three years, Keegan Bradley is the champion of the Travelers Championship.

With a birdie conversion that required only 68 inches to travel, Bradley traded spots atop the leaderboard with Tommy Fleetwood, who missed his par attempt from a foot longer and on the same line, for a one-stroke margin of victory at TPC River Highlands. It puts a wrap on the series of Signature Events this season.

It’s Bradley’s eighth career PGA TOUR title and fourth since the 2022-23 season, including the 2023 edition of the Travelers. This one extends his membership exemption as a winner through 2028 and yields spots in The Sentry, THE PLAYERS Championship and the Masters next year. (His eligibility for the 2026 PGA Championship already was secured with a top 10 at this year’s staging of that major.)

As the captain for the United States in the Ryder Cup at the end of September, speculation was already simmering on whether he’d insert himself into the 12-man squad as a captain’s pick. But now at ninth in Ryder Cup points, he’s that much closer to qualifying automatically. The top six at the conclusion of the BMW Championship make the team on merit.

Although The Open didn’t add any PGA TOUR members on Sunday, it did identify another entrant in Ethan Fang, winner of the British Amateur at Royal St. George’s on Saturday. In a battle for the championship with Gavin Tiernan of Ireland, Fang emerged with the victory with a birdie-3 on the last hole of the 36-hole match. He’s the first American to win the tournament since Drew Weaver in 2007.

Neither finalist stood better than 1 up until Fang won the 33rd hole with par to go 2 up, but Tiernan then birdied the next two to even the marathon and set up the theatrics at the last.

Fang just completed his sophomore year at Oklahoma State University (after a fantastic freshman campaign at the University of California, Berkeley) and arrived for the British Amateur at seventh in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. In addition to the exemption into The Open, he earns spots in the 2026 editions of the Masters and the U.S. Open. He must retain amateur status to play in all of them via this victory.
