The Travelers championship in pursuit of a fourth signature event title on the season Scotty Shefler how about this play from the world number one Exquisite play there a little choke down three wood about 12 ft for an eagle found some stuff in my uh swing at the beginning of the week and uh definitely feel like I’m swinging a lot better than I did last week started to see some balls go in and making putts kind of freeze up the rest of the game to where you don’t feel like you have to be perfect Ricky from Clear across the green here good for Pace oh what a birdie some serious energy in the crowd sweeping Fowler along in this opening round and he has delivered Can Xander do it [Music] again yep he’s had some good saves but that’s the best save of the day shley remains 5 under while the 2022 Travelers championship winner has fond memories in Connecticut returning to New England means even more to last year’s Champion Keegan Bradley going to Travelers is always an exciting time for me I always look forward to it was was always one that I was circled on the schedule I grew up going to that tournament I remember getting my tour card and my first thought wasn’t maybe I’ll be able to play the Masters I was I can’t wait to go play Harford there were cheers and chants that you don’t always hear at golf events they were all in this together the tens of thousands ringing the 18th and this is the stage that he always wanted to star in to go there and be able to walk up 18 three shot lead and enjoy a win with my whole family there you know I I don’t take it for granted New England’s very own takes the title at The Travelers it was probably the happiest moments of my career you know I’ve had bigger wins but that was my happiest that was my most joyful win to enjoy with the people of New England and and also my family all being there it was pretty spectacular I always loved being a few shots back make a charge at the lead but now I feel a lot more conf with the lead on Sunday and I’ve learned to enjoy it and how to handle that with defending his title at the top of his mind Bradley isn’t complacent after winning and is always striving to improve it’s constant hard work for me I got to still prove I got to go to the course I got to practice and when you do all the right things normally good things happen in the tournaments please welcome our Travelers Championship defending Champion Keegan Bradley Keegan bravy hit it yeah got it you think he gets pumped up playing here it’s a fun watch because it does mean so much to him couple of the young bright names and stars in the world of golf playing together in this first round of The Travelers backto back PGA Tour you guys Michael the be on I mean what he’s going to look can really compare his game against oberg right now gets it to go nober is now 300 just chugging along not a bogey on the scorecard Tony Fel just keeps on giving himself good look after good look and keeps doing that four birdies in his last five holes Here Comes will zot tus Sunday I had a basically all day grind sesh just to try to figure out what was going on it was fun this weekend having everybody here and and you know grinding my tail off and it’s nice to see it pay off in the first round back 365 is already this season for will zuris that 64 his best score all year birdies have been piling up for Tom Kim finding his best form at the most important point of the Season here I feel like I’ve been playing like this kind of the last few months what a finish birdie birdie for Tom Kim bogey free on the day what a round of gol for Tom it’s just kind of nice to see those rounds kind of come together and next three days just kind of keep that same game plan eight under 62 leads by two will zuris with that 64 Ricky Fowler just the third bogey free round all season Scotty Shi you know back on the birdie trying again how low will they go we get tomorrow good all right I’ll see you guys thanks for coming [Music] out I am done with college I finished number one on BJ toyu and have my tour card for the next 18 months so this is really a dream come true and it’s honestly a little weird coming back here and just being a professional golfer now was my first official PGA Tour event I ever played in what a week for the Amer Michael thorbjornson from Welsley mass then it’s going to be my first one as a pro we’d like to welcome Michael thorbjornson to the interview room here at The Travelers Champion ship love this place it’s close to home love the golf course The Travelers they do an amazing job of hosting the players yeah I couldn’t ask for a better start Travelers has had an incredible history of giving amateur players sponsors exceptions so grateful for it every one of us us players are honored to be a part of this tournament I made my professional debut there I was super pumped to turn pro and get my career going and just really impressed with the tournament Through The Years many of the young players that received an exemption have found success on the PGA [Music] tour they’ve done a tremendous job not only last year but prior years of giving chances to young players those weeks were the ones that I learned the most even if I didn’t play necessarily the way I wanted to or there’s just so much you can take away from those things that has been part of the identity of of this tournament reaching out to promising young collegians through the years at the end of the day that’s what amers need they need the exposure of feeling the Heat playing in front of big crowds and playing PJ Tour golf courses and you learn a lot from those things at a golf course you you gain some confidence whenever you come back a lot of great memories a lot of good vibes heading into this week feel like my game’s in a good spot say we try the wedge if we don’t feel like we like it then we know it’s the putter just too much Pace I played a lot with leig uh these past couple years in college I was actually talking to him yesterday right when the tea times were announced I got a text it’s like okay my tea times at two I’m like oh let oh this is great he’s like no way it’s one of my favorite people to play with so really happy and I think I’m going to enjoy myself these next very much you’re welcome here you go a lot of anticipation for the debut of this kid Michael thorbjornson a look at birdie how about it right in the middle beautiful roll there from Thor bson oh yeah three in a row coming in for 64 going in today just not really thinking about the score oh baby just pouring it on eight birdies yesterday 12 through 27 I’m playing really well and I know kind of what I’m doing on the golf course it’s not about this week it’s about keep building these momentum blocks for the rest of the season 65 to follow up yesterday’s 62 matching Tom Kim’s best ever 36 hole output if he makes this we might be on something special today let’s keep an eye on this round Mora has Got Something Brewing here this is a course that guys aren’t going to take their foot off the gas and and you got to stay on that solid round to 63 today for more C he’s got himself in a pretty good position heading into the final two rounds I know this property pretty well it can be rewarding with good golf shots I’m trying to play golf to the best of my ability Here Comes Xander shley will sign for 65 again this is probably the most Inc contention I’ve ever been in my life uh through a pretty hot stretch of golf batia I hit a lot of quality shots got up and down when I needed to within two through 36 here in Cromwell I’m playing great I just wanted to keep building on you know good golf and kind of learning as I go this guy’s a competitor too Justin Thomas that’s an eagle three for Thomas to polish off a 63 and Thomas also nine under four back halfway through Scotty just looking and playing like Scotty always does back to back Birds well after the Del came out hit some really nice shots a good chance at birdie here trying to get one shot closer good finish for Scotty sheffler 64 to back up that 65 in round one so he gets to within two of the lead it’s nice to bird 18 to finish and before that I felt like I played a lot of solid Golf and you know did some good things uh so it was overall I think pretty solid day round two is complete with the rains we’re going to see some pretty low scoring I got a feeling on the weekend [Music] I’m Ron Gilmore I’m a locker room supervisor at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell Connecticut and this is my 31st year of doing this I’m a jack of all trades master of none cleaning we’re on television I always tell everybody the first 3 days is usually like Christmas you know you just got a thousand people here and then by Wednesday noon all the Reps leave and it’s just the players normally it’s 156 players now it’s only 80 in this one you go in there you’ll see it on the right hand side thank you so that it’s just like having people over at your house for dinner we’ll be back at 4:00 if it’s in by 9:00 it’s back at 4:00 which no place else on the tour do they get it back that fast I just enjoy it I enjoy this week particularly having a semi rapport with the players is so nice you know all these people are so nice Mr shley was our past Champion two years ago he he’s he’s a little hard to deal with because he always wants hand warmers so we take care of them excuse me I’m working [Music] here I got stories that won’t quit and and most of them I can’t tell Cameron young is off to a hot start in the third round of The Travelers Championship not just the long game not just the irons the putter was working as well and Cameron young cars a 28 on the front nine remember TPC River Highlands is a par 70 at eight underpar through 14 holes Cameron young eyes a historic sub 63rd round as he approaches the closing stretch at TPC River Highlands TPC River Highlands is a great golf course because the back nine creates a lot of action there he is wow anytime you have four holes to finish out the tournament can be won and lost on is an exciting Course once again The Travelers providing great trauma on a Sunday 15 is a great driveable hole 15 is the best short par 4 we play oh year for one you could make an eagle but two you could be right around the green and struggle to make par and you can make the easiest bird you ever seen so it’s almost just a very very very long par three oh my goodness how good is this 16 is a great little par three where you you have a short Club in your hand and so you’re able to hit a great shot and make birdie but then you play too safe and go over the green you’re going to make a bogey 17’s one of the harder holes on the course it’s very tricky off the te you know you flirt with the water you’re in trouble you hit in the left bunker you might hit your second shot water so it’s it’s a hard hole and 18 is one of those if you hit a good drive it feels like the easiest hole in the world and you hit it up on the hill and it’s really tough um you know left bunker is not a terrible spot but It’s [Music] Tricky right at it right at it he’s done it again unbelievable all these crazy things that have happened here and that might just top them all there’s a lot of variance to scores on each hole for the last four before and I think that’s why it’s been such an exciting event to watch on the te at the dramatic short par 4 15th to just about 4 feet that’ll be for another Eagle didn’t really think much about it until the put went in on 15 all of a sudden I had a p freaking hun on 18 which was a blast a champ for history in Hartford cam young at the 18th for 59 only the 13th sub 60 round in tour history it’s fun to have your name on a list that short ni F there’s a bunch of world class players that are already 9 to 13 under if I’m going to have any chance to win I’m sure I’d have to shoot another little one the newest member of the PGA Tour Michael Thor bson four under 66 today professional golfer now playing a golf course that I love couldn’t have asked for a better start to uh professional career it is low needs to bite did superb Shot firing straight at it promising yes indeed promising one of the best in the business isn’t he another man who’s been putting so much better oh doesn’t get much better than that I know I can do it uh I know what those feelings are like whether or not I win tomorrow or not it’s going to be a good challenge Scotty for birdie 14 under now for Scotty that was Big D one in here Trevor guess this one’s going right at it at it turn turn one [Music] in today you know especially at the end we were feeding off each other what I would say is in the in the right way so that’s always always a good thing he is playing with an urgency to be in the lead when the sun does go down twos will help and he said three of them today it’s a stock leader board you know out here five six shot lead is not safe at all so I got to go out tomorrow and with the same game play it’s going to be a shootout tomorrow that’s for sure final round Travelers championship and the man that had led since day one after an open round of 62 is all of a sudden back tied with the world number one Scotty sheffler sometimes in these tournaments you you really have to be on for all four days you have an off day all of a sudden it’s much harder to catch up good tussle between shiffler and and Kim they play a lot of golf together nothing Tom Kim hasn’t seen from Scotty Sheffer there you go birdie for Kim So for just a moment he shares the lead she at 22 under three birdies in a row Scotty so he has momentum at the right time just one hole left Tom Kell have it chance to send this back to 18t he knew it all the way we’re going to have a playoff two great young [Applause] players like to get it closer than 18 the first go round is that any good hit right next to the hole I doubt he’s one bit surprised that Scotty hit it in there close he knows what he’s got to do oh no it looks like he’s got a bad lie too yeah that looks like it’s plugged right there fortunately you know plug ball and when that happens it’s just you can’t do anything about it it takes really just small things to win up here I fought really hard Scotty sheer comes out of the chaos in Connecticut with another tournament title it’s a great finish this golf course produces a lot of those you know the exciting stuff coming down the stretch and so it was nice to be out there competing it was a lot of fun and you know proud to be sitting here with the trophy the first since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to have six victories before the 1st of July been very fortunate to Come Away with some wins this year and it’s been it’s been fun a lot of hard work paying off and so I’m very grateful to to have some trophies to kind of show for it six wins now in his last 10 starts four signature event wins just incredible hogi and him Sher third fenale Thomas kley Thea all TI for fifth
