Travelers Championship Round 3: Fleetwood Leads, Low Scores Light Up Moving Day
Travelers Championship Round 3, Moving day, at the delivered fireworks. Several players made huge moves up the leaderboard with low scores across the board. But as the final round approaches, Tommy Fleetwood holds a commanding lead—though Sunday pressure looms large.
Adam Scott Ignites the Day Early
Adam Scott opened Saturday with a birdie barrage. He carded 4 birdies on the front, 3 more on the back, and an eagle at the par-5 6th. The only blemish came at the 17th, where a 3-putt led to bogey. His 62 was the best round of the week so far. He jumped 34 spots to sit T25 heading into Sunday.
Pendrith and Henley Join the Party
Taylor Pendrith matched Scott’s 62 with 8 birdies, no bogeys. He soared 35 places up to T14.
But the cleanest round of the day belonged to Russell Henley—a perfect card. He went out in 30, back in 31 for a 63 with 9 birdies and 9 pars. He’s now T2, three shots off the lead.
Keegan, Hovland, Fitzpatrick, and Others Go Deep
Keegan Bradley, U.S. Ryder Cup Captain, fired a 63 to move into T2 as well. With another strong round Sunday, he could move up the Ryder Cup standings—though it’s unclear if he’d consider a playing captain role.
Other strong rounds included:
- Viktor Hovland, Aaron Rai, and Matt Fitzpatrick – all shot 63
- Kevin Yu, Rickie Fowler, and Brian Harman – each posted 64
The Leaders Go in Opposite Directions
Scottie Scheffler – A Tough Birthday
It was Scottie Scheffler’s 29th birthday, but the round didn’t start with celebration. He opened with a triple bogey on hole 1, followed by a double bogey on hole 7 after finding water. Despite the brutal start, he salvaged a 72 (+2) and remains T9.
Justin Thomas – Big Mistake on 13
Justin Thomas started steady but made a mess at the 13th hole. A mis-hit tee shot led to out-of-bounds, and two poor chips compounded the problem. He walked away with a quadruple bogey 9, finishing with a 73 (+3). He’s now T14 at -6.
Tommy Fleetwood – Calm Under Pressure
While others stumbled, Tommy Fleetwood surged. He played a sublime 63 with 5 birdies and an eagle. His putter stayed hot, and he now leads the Travelers by 3 strokes at -14. With momentum and confidence, is this finally his PGA Tour breakthrough?
Jason Day Lurks in Fourth
Jason Day made a move of his own. A stretch of three consecutive birdies on the back nine helped him to a 67 (-3). He’s in solo 4th at -11, just outside the main chase pack.

Final Round Outlook: Anyone Can Charge
With several players posting rounds of 62–64, Sunday promises more drama. Fleetwood has a 3-shot cushion, but the pressure will be high. The PGA Tour has seen many surprises on Sundays—and Travelers Championship Round 3 made one thing clear: low scores are still in play.
Weather in Cromwell, Connecticut is expected to be milder with lighter winds and warm afternoon conditions, perfect for a final-round shootout.
