PGA TOUR 2021 - Travelers Championship, Cromwell, River Highlands:  24-27 June


Day 3: Bubba Watson & Kramer Hickok lead, Cam Smith & Jason Day one back

From the Daily Wrap-up:

Kramer Hickok finished the third round of the Travelers Championship too late in the day to go fly fishing again.

He’ll have to wait until Sunday to try to reel in the biggest catch of his career.

The 29-year-old shot a 2-under 68 on Saturday to tie for the lead with three-time winner Bubba Watson. Hickok, who has never won on the PGA TOUR, opened a two-stroke lead before bogeying the final two holes.  Read more

From the PGA TOUR, by Jim McCabe:

Given that the world’s greatest minds have enough on their plate with timeless mysteries such as Dark Matter, the Voynich Manuscript, Phaistos Disc and Gilligan’s Island, we won’t saddle them with this final-round wonderment about TPC River Highlands.

We will, however, ask 2012 Travelers Championship winner Marc Leishman to try and unravel this: Why do 54-hole leaders stumble so frequently here at TPC River Highlands and open the door to come-from-behind wins?  Read more

 From CBS Sports:

Three-time Travelers champion Bubba Watson picked up three strokes on Kramer Hickok over the final two holes, shooting a 2-under 68 on Saturday at TPC River Highlands to pull into a tie for the lead with the minor league tour regular at 10-under par.

Hickok, who has never won on the PGA Tour, was 12 under -- two strokes ahead of Jason Day and three in front of Watson -- heading to the 17th before flying the green and missing a 10-foot par putt.   Read more

From The Tribune:

Atop the Travelers Championship leaderboard through Saturday’s third round sit a pair of golfers whose careers could not have played out more differently.

Bubba Watson, a two-time Masters winner and thrice a champion at TPC River Highlands, co-leads at 10-under alongside Kramer Hickok, a 29-year-old Texan still in search of his first PGA Tour win.

Both have played steady through 54 holes.  Read more
