Inclement weather forces later start on Travelers Sunday
Pending bad weather typically forces tee times in pro events to get moved earlier, so as to avoid weather swooping in later. That’s not the case for the final round of the Travelers Championship.
Tee times have actually been moved back for Sunday, starting at 11:30 a.m. ET. However, all the other trappings of weather-related problems apply. The players will be grouped in threesomes and go off the first and 10th tees until 1 p.m.
Brian Harman is seeking his second PGA Tour win and a win in consecutive seasons as the lefty Georgia product has a one-stroke lead over another lefty, Bubba Watson, and Graham DeLaet heading into the final round. Harman is 14 under par after a Saturday 5-under 65 while grouped with his fellow, one-time Georgia Bulldog. Watson’s 68 has him tied with DeLaet, who is seeking his first PGA Tour win after a 64 that could have been lower had his tee shot to the 277-yard par-4 15th on Saturday rolled just a little closer to the cup.
Though the final threesome is clear of the field by two, the likes of Zach Johnson, Brandt Snedeker and a resurgent Paul Casey, who are all 11 under par, could turn in a low round and steal the title at TPC River Highlands.
