The final pairing of the Travelers Championship on Sunday will feature the same two guys featured in Saturday’s final pairing: Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. That duo took just 130 strokes on Saturday, and if that’s the total again on Sunday, then it’s almost certain that one of them will win (only one other golfer is within two of Cantlay).
Schauffele leads at -17, but Cantlay (-16) closed the gap to one stroke after shooting a comfortable 63 in the third round. Now, the pair will duke it out for what would be the second win of the year for both of them after they took the Zurich Classic while playing together last month as a team.
It would be an upset if anybody other than one of those guys walked away with the trophy on Sunday, but also a compelling story. Sahith Theegala, who has had a fabulous rookie year, is 11-1 to win on Sunday and would have been shorter if not for a bogey at the final hole in Round 3. He could overtake Cameron Young, Davis Riley and Mito Pereira as top rookie of the season with a victory on Sunday at TPC River Highlands. Following his heartbreaking loss at the Phoenix Open earlier this season, he’ll have plenty of backers on Sunday as he tries to chase down Cantlay and Schauffele at what should be a fantastic closing round at the Travelers.
