It figures to be a dramatic and emotional day at TPC River Highlands on Sunday as the final round of the 2025 Travelers Championship plays out.
Most fans in the golf world will probably be invested in Tommy Fleetwood — the 34-year-old Englishman who has the most top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour without a single win (41). He enters the day at 16 under, three shots clear of the field and in prime position to finally capture that elusive first victory. But players like 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley, Russell Henley and Jason Day are lurking, hoping to put pressure on the leader with a hot start Sunday.

Keegan Bradley wins Travelers
What a finish! Keegan Bradley makes birdie, Tommy Fleetwood bogeys and captain Keegan has won at TPC River Highlands for the second time in three years.
Fleetwood's lead shrinks
After a bogey on the par-3 16th, Tommy Fleetwood's lead is down to 1 shot over Keegan Bradley.
Tommy closing in on win
Tommy Fleetwood may finally break through. His lead is two with three holes to play. Keegan Bradley, however, drained a 35 footer for birdie on 14 to get back within two shots an hit a shot in close on 16, too.
Birdies for the leaders
With five holes to play, Tommy Fleetwood is back to even par on the day at 16 under and has a two-shot lead on Keegan Bradley and Russell Henley.
Tommy Lad grows lead
Finally some breathing room for Tommy Fleetwood, who birdies the par-3 11th hole and goes back to 15 under and two in front of Jason Day, Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley.
Jason Day holes out for birdie
The Aussie has entered the conversation. He moved to one back after his hole-out for eagle
"What in the name of J.J. Spaun"
Keegan Bradley! The American Ryder Cup captain, and 2023 Travelers winner, jars a 64 footer on the ninth to tie Tommy Fleetwood at 14 under making the turn. Jim Nantz says "What in the name of J.J. Spaun is happening here," as the putt drops, and the crowd chanting "U.S.A., U.S.A.!"
Scheffler lurking
Scottie Scheffler may be leading if not for a poor start Saturday. He has reached 10 under and is only four behind Tommy Fleetwood. Tommy Lad is one ahead of Keegan Bradley and Russell Henley.
Sickness at the Travelers?
Another WD in the final round because of illness. This time, Matti Schmid. Are the players sick watching the leaders struggle to start? Too soon?

Also, in an interesting twist, Thomas Detry joined the twosome in front of him. He and Schmid were in the final tee time off No. 10 in a twosome, so when Schmid withdrew, Detry joined Davis Riley and Nick Dunlap.
Tied at the top
Tommy Fleetwood's three-shot lead is gone after four holes. He has not made a par yet, with three bogeys to one birdie, and he drops to T-1 alongside Keegan Bradley, who is 1 under thru 4 holes. Russell Henley is a shot behind. Buckle up
2-shot swing on 1
Tommy Fleetwood bogeys the first hole, missing his first fairway since the front nine on Friday. Meanwhile, Russell Henley pours in a birdie putt. Fleetwood drops to 15 under, and Henley is at 14 under. Game on.
Viktor Hovland withdraws
Another withdrawal Sunday, this time from Viktor Hovland who backed out of the final round with a neck injury. He completed only two holes during the second round, making a bogey on 2 before WD'ing.
Sunday weather conditions
After morning storms, it's going to be steamy Sunday afternoon.
Eric Cole withdraws ahead of final round
There will be one less player competing Sunday as there was Saturday, as Eric Cole withdrew due to illness.
What will the weather be like at the Travelers Championship on Sunday?
An early-morning wave of thunderstorms forced tournament officials to delay the start of the fourth round and re-group players into threes instead of twos. The forecast for the rest of the day only predicts a slight chance for another storm to arrive in the Cromwell area, but high temperatures will be in the low-90s, with humidity making it feel like north of 100 during parts of the day.

Pacers vs. Thunder NBA Finals: Tyrese Haliburton's devastating injury a brutal reminder of the precariousness of the game

Tyrese Haliburton knew. He knew from the second he planted to try to drive, slipped, hit the ground and lost the ball midway through the first quarter that he wasn't right — that the 'lower leg thing' that had him limping after Game 2 of the 2025 NBA Finals had snowballed into something worse. But it was Game 5 of a tied championship series, and the sun around which the Indiana Pacers revolves knew how much more difficult the Oklahoma City Thunder would be to topple if he wasn't out there giving them advanced math problems to solve on every defensive possession. Advertisement Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said after Game 5 that he and his staff were 'concerned at halftime' about Haliburton's movement on that strained calf — but that his superstar point guard 'insisted on playing' the rest of the way. 'I mean, it's the NBA Finals. It's the Finals, man,' Haliburton said after Indiana's Game 5 loss. 'I've worked my whole life to be here and I want to be out there to compete. Help my teammates any way I can. I was not great tonight by any means, but it's not really a thought of mine to not play here. 'If I can walk, then I want to play.' A follow-up MRI confirmed Haliburton was working on a strained right calf — an injury that, if he'd picked it up during the regular season, may well have put him on the shelf for weeks. In the Finals, though, with the Pacers' backs against the wall, Haliburton and Indiana's medical and training teams explored every option to get him back on the floor as safely as possible. Tyrese Haliburton of the Indiana Pacers remains down on the court during the first quarter as teammate T.J. McConnell and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder check on him in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals at Paycom Center on June 22, 2025, in Oklahoma City. (Photo by) (Justin Ford via Getty Images) 'I think I have to be as smart as I want to be,' Haliburton said at the Pacers' practice session before Game 6. 'Have to understand the risks, ask the right questions. I'm a competitor. I want to play … I have a lot of trust in our medical staff. I have a lot of trust in our organization to make the right decision. Advertisement 'I think there's been many situations through the course of my career where they've trusted me on my body. … They trust me to make the right decision on my body when the power is in my hands. I'm trying to try my best to do that.' So Haliburton played — and he played great, scoring 14 points with five assists and three 3-pointers in 23 minutes, during which the Pacers outscored the Thunder by 25 points, to help propel Indiana to a series-leveling victory to force a Game 7. 'I just look at it as I want to be out there to compete with my brothers,' Haliburton said after Game 6. 'These are guys that I'm willing to go to war with, and we've had such a special year, and we have a special bond as a group, and, you know, I think I'd beat myself up if I didn't give it a chance.' That chance came only after what Haliburton termed 'an honest conversation' with Carlisle. 'You know, if I didn't look like myself and was hurting the team, like, sit me down,' Haliburton said. 'Obviously, I want to be on the floor. But I want to win more than anything … like I said, if I can walk, I want to be out there.' Advertisement And so, after two more days of round-the-clock treatment that he said Saturday left him 'pretty much in the same standpoint I was before Game 6 — a little stiff, a little sore, Haliburton was out there to start Game 7: the ultimate competitive crucible, the proving ground for the immortals, the situation Haliburton said he'd 'dreamed of being in [for] my whole life.' And he was throwing flames. Five shots in the first five minutes — an extremely aggressive start for a player at times derided for his pass-first play. Nine points on three deep triples to stake the visiting Pacers to an early lead. Confident, sneering; the wolf at the door. And then, midway through the first, Haliburton caught a pass, planted to try to drive, slipped, hit the ground and lost the ball … and he knew. Advertisement Knew from the second he made impact. Slapping the floor, again and again; burying his face in his forearm; grimacing, crying, screaming no, no, no. He couldn't walk. He couldn't be out there. 'I couldn't imagine playing the biggest game of my life and something like that happening,' Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said after the game. 'It's not fair. But competition isn't fair sometimes.' At halftime, Haliburton's father, John, confirmed to ESPN's Lisa Salters the worst-case scenario diagnosis that everyone from NBA superstars to fans on their couches had immediately made: It was the Achilles, and while we don't know yet the severity of the injury, it was impossible not to think of Kevin Durant, and Damian Lillard, and Jayson Tatum, and the miserable gnawing left in the pits of our stomachs as we watched them first writhe, then hobble, off the floor and out of sight. Advertisement The Pacers fought like champions after losing their heart and soul, rallying to take a 48-47 lead into halftime — where, Carlisle said, Haliburton 'was in the locker room, and he was very much a part of a group that believed that they could do this.' (Asked later what Haliburton said to the team at that time, though, Pacers center Myles Turner said, 'Tyrese was getting medical attention at halftime.') Indiana couldn't sustain that surge of adrenaline, though, scoring just 20 points in 23 possessions in the third quarter and committing eight turnovers leading to 18 Thunder points. It was a stretch that laid bare just how badly these Pacers need Haliburton — how everything Indiana is on the offensive end flows from him and through him, and how, without his visionary pace-pushing playmaking, the Pacers just aren't the Pacers — and one that blew Game 7 wide open, sending Oklahoma City on the way to the NBA championship. Haliburton couldn't walk; he couldn't be out there. But, with the aid of crutches, he could greet his teammates after the game, congratulating them on a race well run, offering what he could in one of the darkest moments of all of their careers. 'That's who he is as a person, a teammate,' said backup point guard T.J. McConnell, who tried his damnedest to pick up the slack in Haliburton's absence, scoring 16 points with six rebounds and three assists off the bench. 'He put his ego aside constantly. He could have been in the locker room feeling sorry for himself after something like that happened, but he wasn't. He was up greeting us. A lot of us were hurting from the loss, and he was up there consoling us. That's who Tyrese Haliburton is. He's just the greatest, man.' Advertisement Haliburton spent the last two months captivating the basketball-watching world, delivering moment after moment, hitting some of the greatest clutch shots we've ever seen in the postseason — building a résumé as one of the premier crunch-time assassins the NBA's ever seen in real time. He deserved a better ending than this; the Pacers, their fans, all of us deserved a better ending than this. But competition isn't fair sometimes. 'What happened with Tyrese, all of our hearts dropped,' Carlisle said. 'But he will be back. I don't have any medical information about what may or may not have happened, but he'll be back in time, and I believe he'll make a full recovery.' Haliburton turns 26 in February and is still just approaching his prime; as a big guard whose game is built on his processing speed, passing touch and 3-point shooting, it seems reasonable to be optimistic about his chances of remaining a highly effective player when he returns to the court. The question now hanging over the Pacers' franchise, though: When will he make that return? And what will the team look like when he does? Heading into Game 7, Indiana appeared to be poised for an extended run of contention at the top of an Eastern Conference that figures to be in flux. The Celtics, still reeling from the loss of Tatum, could find themselves needing to shed talent to pare down a staggering luxury tax bill. The Bucks, likewise, will be without Lillard, and enter yet another summer facing existential questions surrounding the prospect of trading Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Knicks just fired the head coach who brought them to the Eastern Conference finals, and have yet to hire his replacement. It remains to be seen whether the Cavaliers will change course after winning 64 games but again failing to advance past the second round — thanks largely to Haliburton and these Pacers. There is no clear and dominant force in the East — no skyscraping juggernaut standing in the way of a team whose relentlessly frenetic style had made them the conference's unsolvable equation. And the Pacers, fresh off consecutive Eastern Conference finals berths and a trip to the NBA Finals, already have nine of their top 10 players locked in for next season, with plenty of pre-free-agency reporting suggesting that ownership's willing to finally go into the luxury tax to retain the 10th — starting center Turner, the floor-spacing 5 who helps unlock Haliburton's freewheeling playmaking and who defended like an absolute demon against Oklahoma City. Advertisement Maybe that's still ownership's plan. Maybe Pacers brass looks at what'll be left in the cupboard while Haliburton rehabs — Pascal Siakam, an absolute dynamo in this postseason; a ton of young talent (Andrew Nembhard, Aaron Nesmith, Obi Toppin, Bennedict Mathurin, Ben Sheppard, Jarace Walker, rising sophomore Johnny Furphy) with room to grow; Carlisle, who just burnished his reputation as one of the game's premier tacticians — and thinks that, with a returning Turner, Indiana still has a chance to make the playoffs for the third straight season, give its rabid hometown fans a team worth showing up to support, and hold down the fort until its signature star can return to lead a roster built on continuity and what Turner famously called 'the power of friendship.' If they take a more jaundiced view, though, and come away thinking that a team built to very exacting specifications cannot properly function without its very particular pilot … well, organizations have made decisions to pivot — to trade present-tense contributors for future assets or financial flexibility reflecting a substantially changed competitive timeline — based on a hell of a lot less. That's the cruel trick of it all, the devastating dislocation of a moment like Haliburton and the Pacers experienced midway through the first quarter on Sunday: that these opportunities are so rare, so fleeting, so difficult to put yourself in position to grasp, and when one slips through your fingers, or is wrested away from you by fickle fate, it can be so, so difficult to get back. 'Chuck Daly once said: If people had any idea how difficult it was to win one game in the NBA — in the regular season, one game — you know, they would be shocked,' Carlisle said after Game 6. '... Not everybody's been deep in the playoffs or to the Finals. But I guarantee you that people have a very good idea what goes on, and how difficult it is to get here, and how challenging it is.' Advertisement That's why Siakam, who won an NBA championship in his third season and wandered for the next six years in search of a shot at a second, spent the last two months telling his teammates and the media that he wasn't going to take this opportunity for granted. That's why Carlisle consistently refused to look back at the past or forward into the future in his news conferences, repeatedly snapping his and his team's focus back to the present, to the process, to the pursuit of this one singular goal. That's why Haliburton was willing to do whatever he could to put himself in position to seize his opportunity. 'We've got one game,' Haliburton said after Game 6. 'One game. Nothing that's happened before matters, and nothing that's going to happen after matters. It's all about that one game.' After that game, though, the sun still rises and you have to face tomorrow. And that's why what happened on Sunday night — not just losing that one game, but losing Haliburton, maybe for an entire year; losing this opportunity without any promise that a franchise that's yet to win an NBA championship will ever see another — hurts so, so much.

Alabama 4-Star Commit Shuts Down Recruitment

Alabama 4-Star Commit Shuts Down Recruitment originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Alabama Crimson Tide football program has eight "commits" for the 2026 class. Although verbal commits, also known as hard commits, are nice, players cannot sign a letter of intent until their senior year during one of two signing periods, meaning those pledged to Alabama for the 2026 season are in no way, shape, or form locked into their oath. Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer© Matt Pendleton-Imagn Images Despite the new standard in the NIL era, which is to expect the unexpected with verbal commits, 2026 four-star interior offensive lineman Chris Booker is likely to hold firm with his commitment to head coach Kalen DeBoer and Alabama. Advertisement On Sunday, Booker shut down his recruitment, per On3Sports. A top 20 interior offensive lineman, per 247Sports, Booker verbally committed to Alabama in mid-February. Despite his pledge, he has since taken official visits to the University of Florida Gators and the University of Georgia Bulldogs. It appears the Georgia native was unmoved by the other two programs, effectively shutting down his recruiting. He also has offers from the Ole Miss Rebels, UCF Knights, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Kentucky Wildcats, Mississippi State Bulldogs, Western Michigan Broncos, and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The Hapeville Charter High School product is part of a 2026 Alabama Crimson Tide recruiting group that also features fellow four-star offensive lineman Samuelu Utu. Advertisement The Tide is yet to earn a commitment from a five-star prospect in 2026, according to the On3 rankings. Alabama has signed at least three five-star recruits, including 2025 blue chip superstar quarterback Keelon Russell, each season since On3 began ranking in 2021.
