Spaun Returns; Scheffler Struggles at Travelers

J.J. Spaun, coming off his U.S. Open win, is managing a hectic week of celebrations and media engagements as he gets ready for the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands. Spaun is receiving recognition from prominent sports figures, including Mookie Betts and former champions Curtis Strange and Hale Irwin. The Travelers Championship presents a less demanding environment compared to Oakmont, though players must remain cautious to avoid costly mistakes. Spaun stressed the importance of staying motivated and not being too hard on himself as he returns to regular PGA Tour events. In other tournament action, Scottie Scheffler experienced an unusually difficult third round, recording a triple bogey and struggling through the front nine, underscoring the sport's unpredictability.
