Scheffler makes clutch putt to force Monday playoff against Hovland in
Travelers Championship

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) --- Scottie Scheffler made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th
hole Sunday and pumped his fist with more emotion than he showed all day, just
for the right to return Monday at the rain-delayed Travelers Championship to
face a sudden-death playoff against Viktor Hovland.
The final round was stopped for 90 minutes as storms moved over the TPC River
Highland, and officials deemed there was not enough daylight for them to play
another hole.
Scheffler and Hovland each had birdie chances at the end. Scheffler rammed his
30-foot putt 8 feet by the hole. Hovland's 25-foot attempt missed by inches and
he tapped in for a 69. Scheffler made his third big par putt for a 68 to match
Hovland at 21-under 259.
That was one shot ahead of Collin Morikawa, who closed with a 61 and was
briefly tied for the lead, though it never looked as though it would be enough.
