The American is the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to win six times before July.
SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER claimed his sixth win of the season in the Travelers Championship after a dramatic finish which saw climate protesters storm the 18th green at TPC River Highlands.
They were quickly tackled by police officers and removed from the green, with Scheffler then narrowly missing his birdie attempt from 25 feet before Tom Kim holed from 10 feet for birdie to force a play-off. Scheffler and Kim, who had finished tied on 22 under par after closing rounds of 65 and 66 respectively, returned to the 18th for the first extra hole and Scheffler’s par was good enough for a sixth win in his last 10 starts after Kim could not get up and down from a plugged lie in a greenside bunker.
“It’s been a great season, I’ve been fortunate to come away with some wins and it’s been a lot of fun. Tom played his heart out today, he’s a great player, a great champion and it was fun battling with him today.”
