Strong player field tees off at the Travelers Championship

CROMWELL, CT (WFSB) – The first round of the Travelers Championship teed off Thursday morning in Cromwell.

Denny McCarthy is leading the tournament after shooting 60 on Thursday. He sits at 10-under.

It was a career-low round for McCarthy, who is ranked No. 33 in the world.

Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott are tied for second at 8-under par.

Rory McIlroy had perhaps the shot of the day with a hole-in-one on the par 3 8th.

The player field for the 2023 Travelers Championship was announced earlier this week.

A total of 156 players were in it.

The field featured eight of the top-10 ranked players in the world, including no. 1 Scottie Scheffler.

Current Masters Champion Jon Rahm and current U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark participated in the event.

Last year’s winner, Xander Schauffele, was also part of the field.

The Travelers was a “designated” event this year, with an elevated purse of $20 million, tournament officials said.
