AKRON, Ohio, Aug 5 (Reuters) – Keegan Bradley stunningly
\nclinched the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational by one shot on Sunday
\nafter playing partner Jim Furyk, a stroke in front playing the
\nlast, double-bogeyed the 18th to tumble back into a tie for
\nsecond.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

American Bradley, who won his first major crown at last
\nyear’s PGA Championship, coolly sank a 15-footer to save par on
\nthe final hole for a six-under 64 and a 13-under total of 267 at
\na rain-softened Firestone Country Club.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

It was an agonising end for tour veteran Furyk who had led
\nthe tournament from the first round and it came after he fell
\nout of a tie for the lead with three holes to play at the U.S.
\nOpen in June.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“This just feels so great,” an elated Bradley told reporters
\nafter landing his third PGA Tour title and the winner’s cheque
\nfor $1.4 million. “I just felt so strong coming down the
\nstretch. I just enjoyed every minute of it.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“My hope standing on the 18th tee was to make birdie and
\nmaybe force a playoff, but you just never know what’s going to
\nhappen, especially with that pin on 18. That’s a really
\ndifficult pin.”
