Keegan Bradley held his nerve during the final round to clinch victory in the BMW Championship at Castle Pines, near Denver.
The 2025 United States Ryder Cup captain came into Sunday with a one-shot lead from Australia’s Adam Scott, who drew level after the opening hole.
But a run of three straight bogeys by Scott, from the 10th hole onwards, gave Bradley a lead he would not relinquish.
The 38-year-old, who also won the BMW Championship in a play-off with Justin Rose in 2018, bogeyed the last to finish with a level-par 72, on 12-under for the week.
He won by one stroke from Scott, compatriot Sam Burns and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg to claim his seventh PGA Tour title – and his first since last year’s Travelers Championship.
Bradley will now enter next week’s season-ending Tour Championship in fourth place while world number one Scottie Scheffler remains top of the FedEx Cup standings, despite being tied for 33rd at Castle Pines.
“Oh, man, it just shows why you’ve got to grind it out every week because you never know how fast it can switch,” Bradley said.
“Now I go to Atlanta with a chance to win the FedEx Cup. I can’t believe it. I’m so excited.”
