Summary
A 9-foot par putt by Scottie Scheffler on the 18th hole kept him tied with Viktor Hovland at 21-under after 72 holes, sending the Travelers Championship to a Monday finish.
The sudden-death playoff starts at 9 a.m. ET at TPC River Highlands, opening on the par-4 18th and repeating there until a winner is decided.
A 90-minute lightning delay halted play at 5:57 p.m. and left the final pairing only through 13 holes when action resumed at 7:20 p.m.; Scheffler's two-shot lead then disappeared after Hovland birdied 14 and 15.
Both players had birdie chances on 18 to win outright, but Hovland missed just right and Scheffler missed long enough to leave himself the par saver.
Scheffler is 2-2 in PGA Tour playoffs and won this event in one in 2024, while Hovland is 1-0 after taking the 2023 Memorial in extra holes.
