What an outstanding weekend has been finished with the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational held at Memphis, Tennessee, TPC Southwind. The name of many great players reminded at the top for the first three days/round but Justin Thomas played such a great game on the last day and wins the trophy of WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational as well as a bank over $1.8 million.
Fire Ants? Fire Ants.
Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 67, yet it’s his drop on the seventh hole that we’ll recall. His drive stopped against certain sticks left of the fairway, and he seemed to believe that he was entitled to relief because there have been fire ants near his ball. No seriously. Fire ants. Also, they were around five feet from his stance!
Fortunately, PGA Tour rules official Ken Tackett (whom you’ll remember because the second rules official from the Fence Incident at Muirfield Village) was having none of it. DeChambeau played the ball because it lay and aroused with a double-bogey six. Let us take you to the recap of the whole round.
Here’s how the top of the leaderboard stands after Round 1
Brooks Koepka -8
A very familiar name at the highest of the leaderboard after the first round of the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational. Defending champ Brooks Koepka posted an 8-under 62 within the first round.
Koepka seeking after an extremely solid completion here in Memphis. He has struggled for the current year on the PGA tour with just one top 10 finish this year. However, he enjoys TPC Southwind and knows about the course.
Rickie Fowler -6
Fabulous round from Fowler, who has not had a lot of them so far in 2020. The swing looked incredible in the first round. Fowler posted a 6-under 64 within the first round.
Brendon Todd -6
Brendon Todd hit 13 of 18 greens in regulation during his 1st round at the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational and had a decent round of putting, without any misses on putts within 10 feet. Todd completed his day tied for second at 6 under with Rickie Fowler.
Brendon Todd -11
After the second round, Brendon Todd leads going into moving day. The 35-year-old has been on the road since 2012 with just three wins, yet two of them he earned this season.
After shooting a 6-under 64 on round 2, Todd kept the great times rolling, registering a 5-under 65. He’s currently leading the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational by two strokes over Rickie Fowler heading into the weekend.
Rickie Fowler -9
Rickie Fowler chipped certain birdie on the 18th hole at TPC Southwind and was two strokes out of the lead at the halfway point of the WGC FedEx St. Jude Invitational. Fowler shot a 3-under 67.

No finish above tied for 12th since the Tour’s return – with three missed cuts.
Byeong Hun -7
In the second round, South Korean Byeong Hun An makes birdie on the par-4 10th hole. He hit 14 of 18 greens in regulation and had a decent round of putting, without any misses on putts within 10 feet. Byeong Hun completed his day tied for third at 7 under with Brooks Koepka and Chez Reavie.

He shot 2-under during his front nine. He shot 3-over on his back, double-bogeying the 2nd and bogeying the 5th and 7th, for a 1-over 71. Koepka wasn’t concerned. “I have 36 holes to go, man,” he said. “I ain’t stressed.”
Chez Reavie -7
Chez Reavie hit 12 of 14 fairways and 9 of 18 greens in regulation and completed the day Bogey-free 3-under. Reavie finished his day tied for 3rd at 7 under in the second round.
The third round of the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational was a wild, up-and-down Moving Day that resulted during a neatly separated leaderboard. Here’s how the top of the leaderboard stands after Day 3.
Brendon Todd -12
Brendon Todd signed for a 1-under 69 on Saturday to stay on top at WGC-FedEx St. Jude but saw his lead shrink to at least one shot with 18 holes remaining.
Todd made five birdies in Round 3, however, four bogeys kept him from building a bigger cushion in pursuit of his third victory this season. He won the Mayakoba Classic and Bermuda Championship in the fall of 2019.
Todd just hit half of his fairways at TPC Southwind during the third round, regardless of one among the foremost accurate drivers of the ball on Tour. He also ranks 75th within the driving distance out of a field of 78
Byeong Hun -11
Byeong Hun An leads the chase of Todd after posting 66 on Saturday. He poured in four straight birdies late within the round to make his climb the leaderboard. He hasn’t won on either the PGA Tour or European Tour since 2015 when he took the distinguished BMW PGA Championship.
Rickie Fowler -10
Rickie Fowler, who was alone in second after Round 2, did not structure any ground on moving day. He matched Todd’s performance with a three-birdie, two-bogey 69. Rickie Fowler completed his day tied for 3rd at 10 under in the third round.
Justin Thomas
He started the final round in fifth place. Never before has he won after starting the ultimate round so low on the leaderboard. He also trailed by four, matching the most important final-round deficit he’s overcome on the PGA TOUR.
The victory kept him on an elite pace. Since 1960, only Nicklaus and Tiger Woods have reached 13 wins at a younger age. Thomas is 27 years old. He shot 13-under 267 (66-70-66-65) for four rounds at TPC Southwind.
Thomas and Koepka, the past two winners of this event, had separated themselves from the sector at that time, but Thomas seemed to have the tournament in hand when Koepka’s own pitch to the 16th rolled over the green. The bogey gave Thomas a two-shot lead.
Tom Lewis
Tom Lewis hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation and completing at 10 under for the tournament. He completed his day tied for 2nd at 10 under with Daniel Berger, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson, he got $695,000.
The 2020 Travelers Championship is the third tournament played after the PGA Tour’s restart. Many famous Golfers participated in the Travelers Championship Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. Unlike the first two events, a couple of golf players pulled back before the event because of positive tests for COVID-19 to either themselves or those close to them. We have brought you the highlights of all over the rounds. The 69th edition of the Travelers Championship golf tournament held on June 25 to June 28, 2020. Let’s find out all the rounds in detail.
Mackenzie Hughes birdied three of his last four holes to get to 10 under overall and went to the last realizing he would require a birdie there for 59. He had a 40-footer for the bird after a mediocre drive and somehow short it left. Really short, as well. It’s in every case great to shoot 60, however, it needed not to get that one even within the vicinity. The thing Hughes has got to worry a few bit that he led the field in putting on round 1, which is perhaps unsustainable.
Rory McIlroy was about field average with his putter and still sits in second place after the end of round 1. To wit, McIlroy had 13 birdie or eagle putts inside of 20 feet, and he made less than 70 feet of putts total.
Xander Schauffele hit 9 of 14 fairways and 15 of 18 greens in regulation, completing at 7 under for the tournament. By the end of round 1. Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland are both in third place at the leaderboard.
Phil Mickelson turned in his best single-round score of the season to require sole possession of the lead at the 2020 Travelers Championship.
Mickelson backed up his round 1, 64 with a 7-under 63 on round 2 and leads the event after 36 holes of play at TPC River Highlands. Mickelson began with one bogey and three pars through the initial four holes. He turned things around during a significant way from that time on with eight birdies throughout the following 14 holes.
Will Gordon hit 9 of 14 fairways and 17 of 18 greens in regulation, finishing at 12 under for the tournament. Gordon finished his day tied for 2nd at 12 under with Mackenzie Hughes.
It wasn’t as sensational as his first round, but Mackenzie Hughes is more than satisfied with his score of 68 on round 2 at the Travelers Championship. He made four birdies, along with a couple of bogeys, and finds himself at 12 under. By the end of round 2, he was in third place at the leaderboard.
Brendon Todd and Dustin Johnson got everyone’s attention during the third round of the 2020 Travelers Championship on Saturday. Todd, who started the day as a major part of a five-way tie for the fourth spot, took the inside and out lead with 18 holes remaining to shoot a 61 to bring down his three-round score to 18 under par.
Dustin Johnson shoots up abruptly at the leaderboard after completing the second round in the 20th.
Todd has been on point through 54 holes, with no single-round score above 66. His success stems in large part from his capacity to hit the fairway. Inputting the ball on the fairway for each hole in the third round, Todd hit 88.9 per cent of greens in regulation and increased 2.8 strokes putting.
Kevin Streelman hit 9 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation, finishing at 15 under for the tournament. He finished his round 3 in 3rd at 15 under.
At the final round, 4th day at TPC River Highlands, close to a hundred people available in these strange pandemic days to witness what Johnson’s 21st PGA TOUR victory. Beginning two behind, Johnson made four birdies on the front, turned in 32 to overtake Todd, at that point apparently headed into victory with another birdie at the tenth.
This is often the Travelers Championship, where wildness consistently happens and it did so once more. Nothing unexpected that Johnson hit some turbulence coming home, he pulled his drive OB and bogeyed the par-5 13th and he hit a 3- hybrid almost into the water at the short, par-4 15, at that point needed to move up his pants and go in and hack his second shot go into play.
This is Johnson’s 21st PGA Tour title and his first in 16 months, since the WGC-Mexico last February. Following a second-place finish to Brooks Koepka last May at the PGA Championship, DJ fell into what was by all standard a long droop, recording only two top-10 finishes in 14 beginnings folded over arthroscopic knee medical procedure last September. Johnson received $1.332 million from an overall prize money payout of $7.4 million.
Kevin Streelman hit 9 of 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens in regulation and finished the final round without a bogey. He finished his final day in 2nd at 18 under. Kevin Streelman received $806,600 prize money.
Will Gordon hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation during his final round at the Travelers Championship, finishing at 17 under for the tournament. He finished his final round tied for 3rd at 17 under with Mackenzie Hughes. Will Gordon got $436,600 whereas Hughes also received $436,600 prize money.
The Travelers Championship is considered one of the most professional golf tournaments on the PGA tour in Cromwell, Connecticut, a suburb south of Hartford. Since 1984 the golf tournament has been held at TPC River Highlands. It is overseen by The Greater Hartford Community Foundation. The 69th edition of the Travelers Championship starting from Jun 25 to Jun 28, 2020.
The PGA Tour is rolling. The Charles Schwab Challenge in Week 1 of the return in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic was tremendous, but last week RBC Heritage at wonderful Harbor Town was even better. Major title championship like leaderboards and astonishing golf all somehow accentuated by the sights and sounds we get from not having fans on the course at all.
The current week’s Travelers Championship should be more of an equivalent as the best field in tournament competition history tees it up along with the extremely fun course. How about we take a closer look at prop bets.
TPC River Highlands has delegated bomb-and-gouge (Watson x 2), straight arrows (Reavie) GIR-finders (Knox) and short-game specialists (Spieth) over the most recent five years. One size genuinely fits all. Course horses will confront a special challenge this year because the field, for the third week running, overflowing with premium players. Of the highest 10 Official World Golf Ranking, nine are on board this week with just Adam Scott again being missing. Chez Reavie is a defending champion and defends as a field of 156, including 15 of the best 20 Official World Golf Ranking tee it up for a possibility at $1.332 million (500 FedEx Cup points) for the winner of $7.4 million. Here is the top 10 OWGR players list.
Hit each of the 18 of Harbor Town’s tiny greens on Sunday Simpson still impeded Ancer’s breakthrough title. Driven field for the week in GIR and proximity and placed T8 here a year ago.
Even if he hadn’t shown form for a T7 at Colonial, he’d have assumed a squeeze in this Power Rankings. Thrice a winner of the Travelers Championship (2010, 2015, 2018). It also features a T2, a fourth, and a T6.
Weird week at Harbor Town where he positioned T6 in GIR and drove the field in an average distance of putts holed (with eight conversions of a minimum of 15 feet), however, completed T33 and with a solid end of the week.
A machine in his prime at 34 years old. Delivered on at Harbor Town with incredible putting. Leads TOUR in balanced scoring. Three Top 15s at the Travelers since 2011.
His independent seventh at Harbor Town was his first top 10 anyplace since the 2019 TOUR Championship. Led the sector within the all-around ranking.
Off to a moderate restart regardless of six red numbers in eight rounds, however, he has two top 20s in as many appearances with a scoring normal average of 67.88 at TPC River Highlands.
Sat out the initial two events of the restart. T15 in both of the previous two editions of the Travelers Championship. His 60 as a 19-year-old here in 2011 was the course record at that point.
He hasn’t shown up since 2013, however, the Brit once was a staple at TPC River land Highlands, and a dependable one at that. Logged a solo third, a couple of T9s, and another two top 20s. T3-T14 within the restart
He’s connected five top 10s returning to the Genesis. As of now No. 2 on Tour in the overall. Dynamically improving results in four Travelers, punctuated with a T8 a year ago.
Returned with a T10 at Colonial and a T8 at Harbor Town even though one over- par round on each course. Same experience with past beginning at Chapultepec (T6). T3 at the Travelers in 2016.
By shooting final round 69, Chez Reavie completed 17-under-par, four shots before Keegan Bradley (67) and Zack Sucher (67). Reavie tied for third the prior week at the U.S. Open, and persistent with his incredible play at the Travelers Championship to make sure about the victory, with rounds of 65-66- 63-69. His six-shot lead through 54 holes was the most important in tournament history. In the third round, Reavie went from six strokes behind the top to six strokes ahead by shooting a record-tying back-nine 28 including seven birdies.
On Sunday, Bradley made Reavie work for it, cutting the six-shot difference to only one after making a birdie on the 15th hole. After both players, combined together within the final group, made pars at No. 16, Reavie birdied the par-4 17th, whereas, Bradley made a double bogey. The three-shot swing gave Reavie a sign of relief on the last hole.

Golf leagues are a vital part of any golfing community. They add to the comradeship and interest in the game and ensure participation. Managing Golf leagues and league tournaments is generally a thankless job. The Golf league management requires sending out invites for the tournament, setting up the tournament, compiling all the results, sending out the results and if the league has a Most valuable player or best player for the season then that calculation has to be done also. Not to mention if multiple tournament types are played then managing them in parallel can be a daunting task.

Traditionally the system for collecting and displaying scores for golf tournaments has been hand filled with cards. Actually, that is the R&A requirement for the tournaments as well. But in the wake of COVID-19 how long this tradition will last is only to be seen. Contactless tournament management and execution both for the players and the organisers are the things that will happen. Not to mention the time-consuming part for score entry and later availability of the results have always been a problem. Which makes, other than the professional tournaments, a bit of a nuisance for both players, their followers, spectators and tournament organisers.
