📍 Where it landed

Scottie Scheffler led the Travelers Championship after shooting a second-round 60, but the story quieted without a definitive conclusion in the coverage. Scheffler's performance had put him in position to potentially join Jim Furyk as one of the only players in PGA Tour history with two sub-60 rounds.

The PGA Tour leadership was also set to undergo a change, with Brian Rolapp taking over as commissioner on January 1.
