However, with Fleetwood bogeying the 17th, and Bradley parring it, the pivotal moment came at the 72nd hole.

After both found the fairway, Fleetwood was first to hit into the green, with his approach coming up short. To make things worse, Bradley then carved his 9-iron to 12-feet, heaping the pressure on Fleetwood.

Seemingly, we were heading to a playoff, but when Fleetwood put his putt short and missed his par effort from 13-foot, it left Bradley with a chance to roll in his birdie and take the title.

Taking the putter back, his putt never looked anywhere else, finding the bottom of the cup for a one stroke victory and a gut-wrenching result for Fleetwood, who secured his 42nd top 10 on the PGA Tour without a win.

Bradley, who is set to captain the US side at Bethpage Black in September, stated: "It's incredible. I feel obliged to play in front of the people of New England.

"Of all the shots and all the putts, I will remember that the most."
