After failing to make the cut at the U.S. Open, Keegan Bradley had a week filled with heartbreak, but he found redemption and a huge payout at the Travellers Championship. Bradley won the competition, which had a $20 million record purse, winning a cool $3.6 million in prize money and 500 FedExCup points. The stunning turnaround for the local boy stunned golf enthusiasts.
Bradley’s triumph was beneficial for him, but others who bet on him at +8000 odds saw a different outcome. Bradley demonstrated his prowess during the final round by birding the par-4 12th hole to raise his total to 26-under with only one bogey in the first 66 holes.
He made a little error, however, by bogeying the par-5 13th and par-4 14th holes before paring the par-4 15th. Bradley held a comfortable three-stroke lead despite another bogey on the par-3 16th hole, winning with two pars. This serves as a reminder that no lead in golf is completely secure, and players must continue to work hard all the way to the finish.
Exciting results and surprises: Brian Harman misses out on payout, Zac Blair shocks the competition
Brian Harman, who finished in a tie for second place and had +8000 odds, missed out on a sizable payout owing to his final round score of 6-under 64. Zac Blair, a big shot at +50000 odds, shared the runner-up spot after shocking the competition with a final-round performance of 8-under 62.
In his 161st outing on the PGA TOUR, Blair had a career-best result at this competition, demonstrating the thrill and volatility of the game. He received an amount of $1,780,000
Even though the main contenders received most of the attention, other important players also had their moments. Despite displaying his brilliance and finishing in a three-way tie for fourth place, Scottie Scheffler, the tournament favorite at +600, was unable to claim the championship but surely claimed $841,666.69.
The defending champion, Xander Schauffele, finished in T19 with +1400 odds with $245,800, while the winner of the U.S. Open, Wyndham Clark, finished in T29 with +4000 odds with $134,000.
The Travellers Championship was an exhilarating demonstration of talent, tenacity, and unexpected results that served as a reminder of why golf is so popular all around the globe. Keegan Bradley’s victory at the Travellers Championship not only earned him a substantial cash prize but also demonstrated his capacity to overcome setbacks. The event was full of unexpected results, with underdogs and favorites both coming up short.
It serves as a helpful reminder that nothing in golf is guaranteed until the very last hole is played. Players may be proud of the fervor and enthusiasm they brought to the pitch as they assess their efforts, leaving spectators anxiously expecting the continuation of this great sport.
