Adam Scott rebounds from U.S. Open with 62 Saturday at Travelers Championship
Adam Scott shoots a 62 at the Travelers, rebounding from a draining U.S. Open and leaning on smart recovery habits. CROMWELL, Conn. – Adam Scott sounded and played like a man who was tired this week at the Travelers Championship, posting rounds of 2-over 72 on both Thursday and Friday. Coming off last week's U.S. Open, where he was in contention deep into Sunday afternoon, that's understandable. But the Australian, who turns 45 next month, appeared refreshed Saturday at TPC River Highlands and shot his lowest round of the year, a 62. 'I believe I'm playing this (tournament) well, but you've got to make some putts at the end of the day to shoot a number,' Scott said. 'That was the difference between the first two days and today.' While walking a rain-soaked Oakmont Country Club was wearing on everyone, for Scott, the mental fatigue of grinding and working to win a second career major was more mentally fatiguing than physically hard. 'Sunday last week was a real letdown,' he admitted. 'It was draining — confidence and fatigue, you know? But I knew I had to play this week.' Unlike most of his career, when Scott typically took the week after a major off, the demands of the PGA Tour's signature event schedule have required a shift in strategy — and recovery habits. That means not showing up at the course on Monday or Tuesday unless there's a pressing issue. It also means relying on past experience — this is his fourth appearance at the Travelers Championship in the last five years — and taking it easy in practice rounds. 'It's really about conserving energy and just having a bit of recovery, so that hopefully when you're in contention the next week, there's plenty in the tank still,' he said. Scott's putter, however, is where things turned most dramatically on Saturday. The 2013 Masters champion struggled on the greens Friday, requiring 34 putts to complete 18 holes and making just 40 feet of putts. Saturday, he needed only 25 putts, and the combined distance of those was just over 121 feet. According to the PGA Tour's ShotLink system, it amounted to a four-shot improvement. 'I made one on one (from 21 feet) and freed up a little bit there,' he said. 'You need a trigger to change it. You can't do the same stuff and expect a different result.' That trigger came courtesy of a quick conversation with longtime friend and former Masters champion Trevor Immelman, who offered a subtle cue during a pre-round putting session. 'It wasn't technical. It was more just a feeling of watching the putt roll in my posture,' Scott said. 'I think he liked the idea that I just kind of stayed down in the shot more, rather than just standing up to watch it roll.' That freedom led to one of the cleanest rounds of the day. But finishing at 4 under for the tournament, before the overnight leaders — Justin Thomas, Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood — started their day at 9 under, Scott is not going to win this tournament. But in the grand scheme, that's OK for Scott. 'I'm out here for a reason, so I'll try and get the most out of it if I can,' he said. 'I'd rather leave today with the confidence of shooting 62 than mailing it in and shooting 70 or 72 and not really getting anything out of it.' Scott may have arrived in Connecticut with his gauge pointing to 'empty,' and he won't leave with the trophy. But he's heading into the rest of the summer knowing there's still plenty of game — and grit — left in the tank.

Collin Morikawa Uses New 'Weird' Strategy at Travelers Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Collin Morikawa has had an above-average 2025 season, but he certainly hasn't achieved the results he'd hoped for. He has been trying different strategies to improve his game, including a particularly unique one that surprised everyone at the Travelers Championship. "It's very, very weird, trust me," he said after his first round's performance at River Highlands. Morikawa's strategy has been none other than to execute several of his shots without wearing gloves on either hand. This is so unusual that it caught the attention of the press covering the event. "Our hands are what makes us such good athletes and such good golfers is that we have so much feel," he explained. "For some reason when I've taken the glove off this week, it's kind of worked. It's just -- problem is it's really hot and it's sweaty. Collin Morikawa of the United States plays a second shot on the fourth hole during the first round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 19, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Collin Morikawa of the United States plays a second shot on the fourth hole during the first round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 19, 2025 in Cromwell, two-time major champion went into detail about the specific moments of the round in which he used his novel strategy: "I'd say most of the approach shots -- I only hit a few approach shots with the glove. Wedges were gloves, but most of the irons were pretty good." "Obviously it doesn't have to be five feet, but just the curvature of the shot is what I was really, really happy to see about that." Watching a golfer execute their swings with bare hands is something absolutely unique. Virtually all players use a glove to hit their tee shots and approach shots, and most also use them also for shots around the green. There are even players who wear two gloves, Aaron Rai being the most notable case. It is only on the putting green that it is normal to see players with both hands bare. Morikawa himself confirmed the rarity of this approach to golf: "Look, we're crazy. Honestly, we're crazy because we try a lot of things, but that's what makes us really good is we're trying to find the little things," he said. Not many weeks ago, Morikawa changed caddies, a fairly common move for players unhappy with their performance on the course. Gloveless Collin Morikawa finished the first round of the Travelers Championship tied for 15th place at 3-under. He then struggled in the wind on Friday, as did much of the field, signing for a 1-over 71. More Golf: Nelly Korda Looking to Tap into Scottie Scheffler at Women's PGA Championsh

Tommy Fleetwood Earns Wild Dak Prescott Comp at Travelers Championship
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Stepping out of his comfort zone, NFL insider Adam Schefter made his PGA Tour Live debut on Friday at the Travelers Championship, to cover the featured group of Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley. "It's going to be fun to get out of my cage and do something I'm not used to," Schefter told Golfweek ahead of his on-course reporting assignment. "As much as I love my job—and I do—I love the challenge of being able to experience something new." But what started as a lighthearted crossover quickly stirred up the golf world when Schefter dropped a comparison that left fans scratching their heads and some even outright fuming. Tommy Fleetwood Earns Wild Dak Prescott Comp at Travelers Championship Tommy Fleetwood Earns Wild Dak Prescott Comp at Travelers Championship Getty Images While chatting alongside analyst Robert Damron, Schefter was asked to draw parallels between NFL quarterbacks and PGA Tour players. That's when he offered: "We've got Dak Prescott, Tommy Fleetwood. Both men have played exceptionally well. Both men have tried to win the championship. "We know Tommy Fleetwood has won overseas (in Europe), still waiting to win his first tournament, maybe it comes here. Dak Prescott, trying to win his first Super Bowl." 🚨⛳️🏈 #WATCH — NFL Insider @AdamSchefter makes his debut as an on-course reporter following the Rory McIlroy + Keegan Bradley featured group. Adam has already made comparisons between Scottie Scheffler & Patrick Mahomes / Dak Prescott & Tommy Fleetwood 👀 — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 19, 2025 While Schefter's point may have hinged on Fleetwood's lack of a PGA Tour win, the comparison to Prescott, who has just two playoff wins in eight NFL seasons and no Super Bowl appearances, was brutal. If we do the right comparison, Fleetwood has 10 professional wins! It includes six on the DP World Tour, and has finished top-5 in all four majors. He's also been a Ryder Cup hero, going undefeated in team play in 2018 and contributing again in 2023. The clip went viral as soon as it was posted on NULCR GOLF's X profile. One fan expressed his anger saying, "Manufacturing drama and narratives. What a ridiculous take. You can just tell by his in your face first pitch, this ain't gonna end well. Does the guy even golf?" Another viewer quipped, "I'd be insulted if I were Tommy Fleetwood. He's not talking about as a guy you'd want to trade to the US for the Ryder Cup like Dak is by Cowboys fans". This wasn't the only comparison Schefter made. Adam Schefter compares Scottie Scheffler to Patrick Mahomes Moments before the Dak Prescott comparison, he likened World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to Patrick Mahomes: "Scottie Scheffler, with all his unorthodox movements, the way he hits unbelievable shots—we can draw the comparison between Scottie Scheffler and Patrick Mahomes".

(Image Collage | Getty Images) Getty Images He also tossed out a few more: Adam Scott to Russell Wilson, Luke Clanton to Cam Ward, and Jordan Spieth to Matthew Stafford. Before Schefter got his hands on this opportunity, he expressed to Golfweek, "I'm thankful and honored they asked me to do it." "We'll see how it goes. If I love it, I'd be honored to do it again, but after one round they may say let him go back to his sport. Who knows? "I know the players, I understand the sport, I know how to report something and we'll see how it goes". Schefter, who says he watches PGA Tour Live "more than anyone" but only plays golf six times a year, clearly brought enthusiasm to the role. But if he's hoping for a second round on the mic, hoping for another shot on the mic, he might want to tighten up the comparisons—because if they keep landing like this, the golf crowd won't be as forgiving the second time around. What is your opinion on Schefter's take on the 17th-ranked world golfer, Tommy Fleetwood? Let us know in the comment section below!
