England’s Tommy Fleetwood on Saturday shot to separate the 7-under-foot 63 in the third round of the Travelers Championships from a high-profile group near the top of the leaderboard in Cromwell, CON.
Fleetwood, who did not record a bogie for the second time in three rounds, will benefit three-shot in the last round of TPC River Highlands.
Russell Henley seated 61 and Keagan Bradley at 63 to sit in 13 under. Australia’s Jason Day is fourth at 11 am after 67 of the third round.
The round began with Fleetwood, Justin Thomas and World No. 1 Scotty Shefler, who were tied to the first place.
The triple-bogie on the first hole of the Scheffler and a double-boy on Par-3 eighth hole made it away at speed. Thomas later suffered serious trouble.
The highlights of Fleetwood included 66-Foot Birds put on Para-3 fifth hole and 30–foot eagle puts on Par-5 13th. This was his second eagle in several days in number 13, which he has played under 5 for the tournament.
Henley’s bogie-free round was involved in the second round of three bogies and below 5. They had both par-5 holes and birds on overall.
For the Rider Cup, US captain Bradley tied four of the first seven holes and was in controversy.
The chefler, playing on his 29th birthday, received assistance by a shirt on the last hole, in a tie for the eighth place with 72 below 7 and 72.
Thomas had a similar, although the decline on its path by 73, a quadruple-bogie on the 13th hole was coming undone by 9. The meltdown began with a tea shot and included three additional shots in the rough before reaching green.
Harris English (67), Vyadham Clarke (66) and Brian Harman (65) are ranked 8th in fifth place.
In addition to Henley, the best score of the day was replaced with 62 by Canada’s Taylor Pendrith and Australia’s Adam Scott. Pendrith moved into a tie in the 14th position in the 6th, while Scott is tied for 4 under 4.
