AKRON, Ohio (AFP) - Keegan Bradley saved par on the final hole by pouring in a 15-foot putt to claim the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational Sunday, denying Jim Furyk the first wire-to-wire victory of his career.
Bradley rallied with a final round six-under 64 on Sunday to finish at 13-under 267 and win by one stroke over Furyk and Steve Stricker.
"I still can't believe it," Bradley said. "I am just so thrilled."
It was the first win for Bradley since capturing the 2011 PGA Championship and he now heads to Kiawah Island, South Carolina to try to defend that title next week.
