2025 Travelers Championship leaderboard: Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood catch Scottie Scheffler for top spot
CBSN
A windy day at the Travelers led to some big changes on the leaderboard
The second round of the 2025 Travelers Championship saw TPC River Highlands play far more difficult than usual thanks to strong winds that pushed the average score on course over par Friday. Justin Thomas and Denny McCarthy handled the blustery conditions in Connecticut the best, posting matching 6-under 64s to make big moves up the leaderboard as the 18-hole leaders struggled to put distance between themselves and the rest of the field.
Thomas shot up into a tie for first with Scottie Scheffler and Tommy Fleetwood at 9 under, while McCarthy hung two back. Between them sits Jason Day, whose matching 66s across the first two rounds have him in contention for his first PGA Tour victory in two years.
Thomas did much of his damage on the back nine as he made five consecutive birdies from the 11th to the 15th. He made more than 146 feet of putts ion Friday, riding a hot putter to one of the best rounds of the day while avoiding mistakes tee-to-green despite the whipping winds.
