Bradley captures WGC-Bridgestone Invitational as Furyk surrenders lead



Jim Furyk led the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational for 71 holes. After 72 holes, Keegan Bradley led and was the champion.

Furyk made a double-bogey 6 at the par-4 18th at Firestone C.C. to surrender the lead to Bradley, who made an 18-foot par putt to capture his third PGA Tour win.

Bradley won by a shot at 13 under par, shooting a final-round 6-under 64 to catch and pass Furyk. A year ago, Bradley shot a back-nine 41 in the final round to fall out of contention. He was nine shots better on Sunday.

Closing with 4-under 66, Tiger Woods shot his best round of the week on Sunday to finish nine shots back of Bradley in a tie for eighth place.
