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.

As captain of the US 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.

Bradley’s accomplishments on Friday included a whopping $900,000 with a birdie at No. 13, while also earning $375,000 at the fifth hole.
