Kim Clinging to 1-Shot Lead

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) — First-round leader T. Kim clings to a slim lead at the Travelers Championship, weathering severe weather to preserve his 1-shot advantage.

Kim fired a 5-under 65 Friday to maintain his advantage, finishing the day at 14-under 126 through two rounds at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler remains in contention, just one stroke back, thanks to a bogey-free 5-under 65. J.T. Poston (12-under 128) and Cameron Young (11-under 129) trail by three and four strokes, respectively.

The tournament has been disrupted by severe weather, forcing a suspension of play Friday afternoon. Third-round action is scheduled to begin Saturday.
