Tom Kim lines up a shot on the 12th green during the third round of the Travel ers Championship golf tournament at TPC River Highlands, Saturday, June 22, 2024, in Cromwell, Conn.Tom Kim made enough birdies on a soft, vulnerable course to stay in front Saturday in the rain-delayed Travel ers Championship, getting up-and-down for par on the final hole in near darkness for a 5-under 65 and a one-shot lead over Scottie Scheffler and Akshay Bhatia.
Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 player coming off a rare pedestrian performance at the U.S. Open, was slowed by a pair of soft bogeys – his putter from fringe on No. 11, a bad drive into mangled weeds on No. 14 – and answered with four straight birdies. Schauffele played bogey-free until the final hole when his three – foot par putt horseshoed around the cup and left him with a 64. He was two shots back along with Sungjae Im, who made a birdie putt from some 40 feet on the final hole.
The group within five shots includes Young, who was tied for 43rd when he arrived at the course in the morning. He was 5 under through four holes – he holed out with a wedge from 142 yards on No. 3 – made another eagle on the 280-yard 15th hole with a 3-iron to four feet and got to 11 under with a five-foot birdie on the 17th.
“Did exactly what I do every day coming to the golf course – get a coffee, ate, saw the physio, and went out there, warmed up,” he said. “Didn’t feel particularly awesome. I chunked a few less on the range than I did yesterday. Then, yeah, came out and just was very comfortable and things just started coming down close to the hole.”
“ definitely have to earn your birdies,” he said. “But I think they’re going to be coming in bunches tomorrow.”
