Eric Cole Surges to Lead Travelers Championship

Eric Cole storms out of the gate with a blistering 63 at the Travelers Championship, including an eagle pitch-in from 65 yards, giving him a one-shot lead over a stacked field. After withdrawing last year due to a stomach bug and battling Addison’s disease, Cole says he’s not chasing redemption — just thrilled to be competing. Wyndham Clark, fresh off his U.S. Open win, bounced back from a triple bogey on 12 with a 68, while Scottie Scheffler shot a flawless 64. The softened course is playing scoreable, and with greens holding shots, momentum could shift fast — especially as Scheffler narrowly missed birdie chances on the back nine. Cole’s only regret? Missing an eight-footer for birdie on 18. The leaderboard is tight — and the weekend’s drama is just beginning. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
