Travelers Championship sees Scottie Scheffler seize lead with 60‑round

The 2026 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut featured a series of low‑scoring rounds. Eric Cole opened with a 63 to lead after round 1, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler posted a 60 in round 2, moving to 16‑under and taking the tournament lead. Viktor Hovland was one shot back after a bogey‑free 61, and Akshay Bhatia posted a 62, matching Cole’s first‑round 12‑under total. Other notable performances included Matt Fitzpatrick’s 64, Justin Rose’s 65 after switching putters, and several players breaking 70. The soft, wind‑calm conditions and rain‑softened greens contributed to the extreme scoring. Coverage also highlighted peripheral stories such as Scheffler’s son Bennett practicing with a mini‑golf bag and a number of top players changing putters for the event. Viewers could watch the tournament via streaming services such as Fubo and the PGA Tour’s TOURCAST platform.
