Keegan Bradley has claimed his second PGA Tour title of the season with victory at the Travelers Championship, his hometown event.
Earlier in the week, Bradley spoke about the presence of his family lifting the pressure off his shoulders at the tournament in Connecticut.
The American subsequently delivered on his words, following rounds of 62, 63 and 64 with a 68 that involved a couple of lapses in concentration.
After five birdies on the first 12 holes, bogeys on 13 and 14 gave encouragement to the chasing pack who had suddenly got to within three of the lead.

Failing to birdie the short par-four 15th and a bogey at 16 followed, but Bradley concluded the competition with two pars to earn a three-shot win.
Zac Blair was the surprise name in a share of second, with a sublime 62 being enough to secure his PGA Tour privileges for a further 12 months, and he shared the runners-up spot with Brian Harman.
Chez Reavie, who was at one stage the nearest challenger to Bradley, could only record a 71, forcing him to settle for a tie for fourth with world number one Scottie Scheffler and Patrick Cantlay.
Rory McIlroy ended with a flourish, producing a 64 to earn a share of seventh position and post his fourth top-10 finish in succession.
