Scheffler Shines Without a Belt

Scottie Scheffler exploded onto the Travelers Championship with a stunning six-under 64, sitting just one shot off the lead after day one—complete with a hilarious twist: he forgot his belt, and buddy Sam Burns had to lend him one. “Actually kind of convenient,” Scheffler joked, adding he birdied four of his first nine holes and never bogeyed a single shot. The performance follows a tough U.S. Open finish, but Scheffler’s focus remains on clean, solid shots—and he’s had a stellar season with eight top-fives and a win. Playing alongside Burns, who also shot a 66, Scheffler is thrilled to be in the mix amid a packed leaderboard of 14 golfers within two shots. With the pressure on and the course favoring low scores, Scheffler’s early dominance suggests he’s primed for a big weekend. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
