CROMWELL, Conn. -- Scottie Scheffler provided hope with a late double bogey. Tommy Fleetwood charged through with two eagles in three holes, and so did Justin Thomas with five straight birdies. They wound up tied for the lead on a blustery Friday at the Travelers Championship. All it took was the fate of the wind, good or bad, to shape the leaderboard going into the weekend at the TPC River Highlands, with 12 players separated by four shots.

CROMWELL, Conn. -- Scottie Scheffler birdied four of his first six holes Thursday en route to an 8-under 62, sharing the lead with Austin Eckroat at the Travelers Championship. After shooting a 30 on the front nine, Scheffler faced a 236-yard approach on the par-5 13th, and his 3-iron over a pond to a pin on the right settled 10 feet away. He made the eagle putt.
