Scheffler is at it again, standing atop the leaderboard through 18 holes in the the last signature event of the season
One week after J.J. Spaun surprised by winning the U.S. Open, it appears as if the 2025 Travelers Championship may be quite cut and dried. The favorite in the field found himself atop the leaderboard at the conclusion of Round 1 as Scottie Scheffler surged across the afternoon wave at TPC River Highlands with an 8-under 62 to stand atop the final signature event of the PGA Tour season after 18 holes.
Scheffler shares pole position with Austin Eckroat, who signed for the lowest round of his PGA Tour career in the morning. Rory McIlroy, Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark are two strokes off pace of the world No. 1 at 6 under, while another notable name in Jordan Spieth was forced to withdraw due to injury.
"I did a lot of good stuff," Scheffler said. "I felt like the conditions were pretty challenging out there, especially late in the day. I was able to hole some nice putts as well."
