Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland will decide the Travelers Championship in a Monday sudden-death play-off after both finished at 21 under par. The play-off was delayed because organisers judged there was not enough daylight following an earlier 90-minute storm interruption.
Hovland began the final round with a one-shot advantage and signed for a 69, narrowly missing a birdie chance on the 18th that could have sealed the title. Scheffler, the world number one, closed with a 68 after making a key par putt on the last to stay level.
There was also a strong Norwegian presence around TPC River Highlands, with supporters cheering Hovland and bringing the “viking row” celebration seen among Norway football fans this summer. That added a lively subplot to a finish already shaped by weather, pressure and late scoring swings.
Collin Morikawa charged into contention with a final-round 61 and ended third at 20 under. Matt Fitzpatrick followed at 19 under, while Wyndham Clark was among those tied for fifth at 18 under.
