Hovland seizes one-shot PGA Travelers lead over Scheffler

Norway's Viktor Hovland sank a birdie putt from just beyond six feet on the 18th hole to take a one-stroke lead over world number one Scottie Scheffler after the third round of the PGA Tour Travelers Championship on Saturday, June 27, 2026. Hovland's birdie on 18 produced a two-shot swing on the final hole to vault him ahead of Scheffler entering the final round. Earlier in the round, Scheffler had kept pace with Hovland by converting a tap-in birdie at the third hole after landing his approach within two feet of the pin.
