Bradley earned 11 skins and topped Tommy Fleetwood of England, Shane Lowry of Ireland and Xander Schauffele in the 16-hole battle at Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, while playing in the first Skins Game in nearly two decades.<\/p>\n
As captain of the United States squad at the Ryder Cup in September, Bradley’s group got off to a brutal start and was upended by a Europe side that included Fleetwood and Lowry.<\/p>\n
Bradley’s accomplishments on Friday included a whopping $A1.3m with a birdie at No.13, while also earning $A573,000 at the fifth hole.<\/p>\n
“Oh man, that felt good,” Bradley said on the Amazon Prime Video broadcast after winning No.5 when Fleetwood missed a 10-foot putt.<\/p>\n
“I need as much revenge against Tommy and Shane as I can get. That’s a start.”<\/p>\n
Skins grew in value as the round progressed. The first five holes each were worth $A153,000, while Nos.6-9 were worth $A304,000 and Nos.10-13 went up to $A458,000 each. The final three holes went up in value from $A610,000 to $A760,000 and $A917,000.<\/p>\n
Fleetwood ended up winning $A2.6m while earning four skins, including a record $A1.6 million at the final hole. Lowry’s one skin was worth $A305,000 while Schauffele was shut out. Lowry filled in for Justin Thomas, who bowed out with a back injury.<\/p>\n
Each player had $A1.5 million to their credit when the match started and won or lost money as the round progressed.<\/p>\n
It was the first official Skins game since 2008 in an event that goes back to 1983.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bradley earned 11 skins and topped Tommy Fleetwood of England, Shane Lowry of Ireland and Xander Schauffele in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":315847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[64,63,755,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-315846","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=315846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/315846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/315847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=315846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=315846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=315846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
