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.
In a bold and unexpected move, professional golfer Charley Hull has advocated for a complete ban on all social media platforms. She highlights the negative impact these platforms have on mental health and concentration. Hull passionately argues that the relentless pressure to maintain an online presence often eclipses authentic connections and personal well-being.
