Golf:American Keegan Bradley won the PGA Grand Slam of Golf by a shot from Charl Schwartzel in Bermuda, after Rory McIlroy went from three ahead at one point during his second round to four behind, before eventually signing for a 75.

With 12 holes to play in the 36-hole event between the year's four major winners, Northern Ireland’s US Open champion was firmly on course to be the first European winner since Ian Woosnam in 1991. But he bogeyed the next three, did not have a birdie all day and instead it was South African Schwartzel who mounted the biggest challenge to Bradley.

From seven strokes adrift at the start of the day, the Masters champion drew level with a sparkling front-nine 31, but could not get back on terms after Bradley birdied the 10th. The pair finished four under par and three under respectively, while McIlroy was level par and Darren Clarke, never a factor from the time he bogeyed three of the first four holes, nine over.

That still earned the British Open champion more than €143,385, while Bradley took home €439,890.
