Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley rallied from three shots behind with four holes to play and birdied the 18th hole before a delirious home crowd Sunday for a 2-under 68 to win the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.

The victory only strengthened the case for Bradley to bring his clubs to Bethpage Black in September for the Ryder Cup matches against Europe. Bradley moved to No. 9 in the standings and wound up beating Tommy Fleetwood, who scored the clinching point for Europe at Marco Simone two years ago.

One shot behind Fleetwood going to the 18th hole, Bradley stuffed his approach to just under six feet below the hole. Fleetwood, looking like this might be the time he wins a PGA Tour title, came up some 50 feet short and took three putts for bogey and a 72.

Bradley, a New England native, kept his feet planted when the putt dropped and shook his fist as he delivered a stunner at the TPC River Highlands, capping off the finish in oppressive heat with a 35-foot birdie putt on the 15th and the 6-footer at the end.

Fleetwood, the 34-year-old from England who has built a reputable record around the world, is 0 for 84 in regular PGA Tour events.

Minjee Lee closed with a 2-over 74 but never gave up the lead in the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship to win her third major title.

While Lee had three bogeys in a four-hole stretch on the front nine, she had started the day with a four-stroke lead over Jeeno Thitikul, the world’s No. 2-ranked player. Thitikul, also in that final group, bogeyed both par 5s that are among the first three holes on Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco.

Lee, ranked 24th, finished at 4-under 284.

With a record $12 million purse that was up from $10.4 million a year ago and matched the U.S. Women’s Open for the most price money, Lee took home $1.8 million.

Miguel Angel Jimenez won the Kaulig Companies Championship for his fourth PGA Tour Champions victory of the season, rallying to force a playoff and beating Steven Alker with a 20-foot birdie putt on the second extra hole.

Two strokes down after playing partner Alker birdied the par-5 16th, Jimenez made a 10-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th and an 18-footer on the par-4 18th.

NFL

Two-way college star and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, the second overall pick in April’s NFL draft, signed a four-year, $46.6 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The deal includes a $30.5 million signing bonus.

Hunter had been one of three unsigned first-round picks, including Cincinnati edge rusher Shemar Stewart (17th overall) and Denver cornerback Jahdae Barron (20th).

The Jaguars traded up three spots to select the former Colorado standout in the draft. They expect him to play both receiver and cornerback.

Motorsports

Chase Briscoe returned to victory lane at Pocono Raceway, holding off Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin for his first win with his new team.

Briscoe raced his way into an automatic spot in NASCAR’s playoffs with the win and gave the No. 19 Toyota its first victory since 2023 when Martin Truex Jr. had the ride. Briscoe lost his job at the end of last season at Stewart-Haas Racing when the team folded and he was tabbed to replace Truex in the four-car JGR field.

Hamlin still earned the top seed in the inaugural version of NASCAR’s In-season Challenge, a five-race, bracket-style tournament set to kick off next week in Atlanta.

The final 32-driver field was set by results of the races at Michigan, Mexico City and Pocono. Briscoe’s win finalized the field. Drivers will be paired in head-to-head matchups based on seeding, with the winners advancing to the next round in a bracket format that mirrors the NCAA basketball tournaments.

The format is single elimination with the field cut to 16 at Chicago, eight at Sonoma, four at Dover and the final two at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Horse racing

Hall of Fame horse racing trainer D. Wayne Lukas has been hospitalized and will not return to training, his family and Churchill Downs announced.

Lukas’ family said the 89-year-old has battled a severe MRSA blood infection that has caused significant damage to his heart and digestive system and worsened preexisting chronic conditions. The family said Lukas declined an aggressive treatment plan that doctors proposed involving multiple surgeries over the coming months and 24/7 assistance, instead deciding to return home.

His horses have been transferred to assistant trainer Sebastian “Bas” Nicholl, who has been part of Lukas’ team since 2002.

Lukas’s 15 Triple Crown victories are second only to good friend Bob Baffert, and Lukas has a record-tying 20 in the Breeders Cup. He won the Kentucky Derby four times since 1988. His most recent victory in the Triple Crown came last year with Seize the Grey in the Preakness.

Tennis

Carlos Alcaraz defeating Jiri Lehecka in the final at Queen’s Club in London. The top-seeded Spaniard replicated his debut triumph on the grass courts of west London in 2023 with a 7-5, 6-7 (5), 6-2 victory.

It was an 18th-straight match win for Alcaraz in his fifth consecutive final.
