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."

Aberg was two shots adrift overnight but Burns rallied from four-under, firing a seven-under 65 to finish tied for second.

The 28-year-old had eight birdies in his final round and narrowly missed a bunker shot on the par-four 18th that would have tied the lead.

England's Tommy Fleetwood also climbed the leaderboard on Sunday, firing a three-under 69 to finish on eight under.

That saw him move from 31st to 22nd in the FedEx Cup standings and secure a place in next week's Tour Championship.

"It's just a nice challenge mentally going out there and playing when you know you've got something on the line," he said. "I was happy with that.

"I felt like it was tough, and yeah, I played really well and putted well."
