Hovland Flips the Script on Scheffler and Takes the Lead at Travelers Championship

Viktor Hovland birdied the 18th hole on Saturday at TPC River Highlands, finishing at 20-under 190 to claim a one-stroke lead over Scottie Scheffler at the Travelers Championship.
Entering the day with a two-shot advantage, Scheffler bogeyed the 18th hole after his par putt failed to drop, finishing with a 67 for 19-under and allowing Hovland to capitalize.
Patrick Cantlay and Akshay Bhatia are tied for third place at 15-under, five shots off the pace after posting rounds of 64 and 67 respectively.
Hovland said the course's beauty lies in how "Scottie and I have separated ourselves" from the field, though 14- or 15-under remains competitive if challengers shoot low tomorrow.
Sunday's final round in Cromwell will feature the Hovland-Scheffler showdown, with the lead group scheduled to tee off at 2:55 p.m. at TPC River Highlands.
