Despite a couple of bumps late in his final round, Keegan Bradley came out on top as he won the sixth PGA Tour title of his career on Sunday. In doing so, the 37-year-old also broke the tournament scoring record previously set by Kenny Perry in 2009.

The win was an extremely emotional one for Bradley, who used to attend the New England event during his childhood. However, just mere moments after the golfer claimed the title amidst adoring and boisterous fans, it was his son who stole the show with his wholesome antics!

After being in dominating form throughout the first 56 holes at TPC River Highlands, Keegan Bradley recorded a formidable performance in the fourth and final round as well. He suffered a late stretch of three bogeys over four holes but eventually ended his day with an impressive 2-under 68.

As he walked up to the ball on the 18th hole, the golfer could hear the spectators chant his name. He then sank a 2-foot par putt to finish at 23-under 257. “This is for all the kids that grew up in New England who had to sit through the winters and watch other people play golf,” the Vermont native told CBS Sports after his victory.

But Bradley’s time in the limelight was later cut short, thanks to his adorable sons. Logan and Cooper, who were born to the golfer and his wife, Jillian, were awarded little trophies of their own after their father’s victory. Cameras later caught the endearing duo playing around with the special mementos!

Meanwhile, for his heroics, the 2011 PGA Championship winner took home an incredible $3.6 million, the biggest share of the $20 million prize purse. Runners-up Brian Harman and Zac Blair also walked away with $1.78 million each for their performances!
