Tom Kim has made just enough birdies to keep in front at the rain-softened Travelers Championship. But just barely. Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was one shot behind. PGA champion Xander Schauffele was in the group another shot behind. Kim saved par on the final hole in the darkness for a 65.
Scottie Scheffler reacts after missing a putt on the 12th green during the third round of the Travelers Championship golf tournament at TPC River Highlands, Saturday, June 22, 2024, in Cromwell, Conn. Scottie Scheffler hits from the 13th tee during the third round of the Travelers Championship golf tournament at TPC River Highlands, Saturday, June 22, 2024, in Cromwell, Conn.
Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 player coming off a rare pedestrian performance at the U.S. Open, was slowed by a pair of soft bogeys — his putter from fringe on No. 11, a bad drive into mangled weeds on No. 14 — and answered with four straight birdies. Kim, who turned 22 on Friday, is still leading a large cast of All-Stars. He was at 18-under 192 going into the final round in which 10 players were within five shots of the lead.
He was tied when he walked off the course and still in the mix when the round finally ended. Young didn’t see this kind of round coming. “Feels like more than ever you’re going to have to keep your head down,” Schauffele said. “It’s kind of been my motto — ‘Stay in my lane’ — for quite some time, and I think tomorrow it’s going to hold pretty true. You can get on a run at any point on this golf course.
