PGA Tour Reacts to Tommy Fleetwood’s Performance at Travelers Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

The Travelers Championship is heating up in Connecticut, and England’s Tommy Fleetwood is leading the charge. After a sensational third-round 63, Fleetwood heads into Sunday with a three-shot lead at 16-under-par. The 34-year-old has never won a PGA Tour title, but his flawless round on Saturday, including an eagle on the 13th and a birdie on the 15th, has placed him on the brink of history.

The PGA Tour didn’t hold back in celebrating his performance, spotlighting his bogey-free round and red-hot form. They described him as the “solo leader” and praised his quest for that long-awaited first PGA Tour win with a simple yet powerful message: “Tommy Fleetwood hit EVERY fairway en route to a 3-shot lead.”

Fleetwood has 41 top-10 finishes without a victory, more than any other active player. But he seems to be embracing the moment. “I would love to win on the PGA Tour,” he admitted per Outlook. “It’s just an amazing opportunity for me to go out and enjoy it, and hopefully it’s our time.”

Close behind him are Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley, both sitting at 13-under. Henley shot an electrifying 61, while Bradley, a fan favorite and former Travelers champ, carded a 63.

Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who started Saturday tied with Fleetwood and Justin Thomas, stumbled early with a rare triple bogey on the first hole, eventually shooting a 72. He now trails by nine shots, tied for eighth.

After missing the cut at the U.S. Open last week, Fleetwood’s bounce-back this week has been impressive. With one round left, all eyes are on Fleetwood. If he holds on, it would mark a long-awaited and emotional first PGA Tour victory.
