Tommy Fleetwood Leads Travelers Championship Connecticut Pursuit Maiden PGA Tour Win

Tommy Fleetwood surged to a three-shot lead at the Travelers Championship after a flawless bogey-free 63 in the third round, including an eagle on the par-five 13th, reaching 16-under par. This marked Fleetwood’s lowest round on the PGA Tour this year and positioned him strongly for his maiden PGA Tour victory, with American contenders Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley trailing at 13-under. Fleetwood’s exceptional back-nine performance, featuring three eagles and six birdies over the last 24 holes, contrasted sharply with world number one Scottie Scheffler’s struggles, including a triple bogey on the first hole and a 72-round that left him nine shots behind. Henley, who shot a bogey-free 61, and Bradley remain in contention, while other notable players like Rory McIlroy and Adam Scott showed mixed results. Fleetwood expressed confidence and excitement about being in the final group on Sunday, aiming to capitalize on the opportunity for his first PGA Tour win. The tournament, held at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut, is notable for its $3.6 million winner’s prize and features a competitive field vying for the title.
