Scottie Scheffler had a strong start at the Travelers Championship, scoring a five-under 65 in the first round and staying near the top of the leaderboard at TPC River Highlands. He mentioned that he made some small adjustments to his swing that helped him perform better after struggling at the US Open last week.
Looking forward to his 28th birthday, Scheffler aims to continue his good performance and possibly take the lead after 36 holes. However, he faces competition from Tom Kim, who shot a remarkable 62 in the first round and currently holds the top position.
While Kim is seeking his first win at a prestigious event, Scheffler has already won 11 times on the tour. He highlighted a grip adjustment that improved his swing and led to his first sub-70 round since the Memorial Tournament. This positive change ended a streak of six rounds in the 70s for Scheffler.
In addition to Scheffler’s performance, defending champion Keegan Bradley started with a solid one-under 69. Golf fans can catch all the PGA Tour and DP World Tour action live on Sky Sports.
