Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler tied for the lead at Travelers Championship

Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim, who share a birthday, are competing for the lead in the Travelers Championship's second round at TPC River Highlands. Kim took a two-stroke lead after shooting an impressive 8-under-par 62 in the first round, leading a limited field, no-cut event on the PGA Tour schedule. Scheffler, with five wins this year, is among seven players at 5 under, showcasing his talent despite a recent 41st place finish at Pinehurst No. Kim, a six-time PGA Tour winner, had a strong start at Pinehurst but faltered on the final day, finishing tied for 26th. Despite a challenging season, Kim remains optimistic, drawing on past experiences to stay resilient. Fowler, a six-time PGA Tour winner, reflects on his past struggles during a four-year winless period that ended last year in Detroit. Despite limited success this year, Fowler remains focused on his progress and growth as a player. Zalatoris made a strong start in the tournament, birdieing multiple holes on the back nine before a setback on the 16th hole. Despite the setback, Zalatoris briefly held the lead and showcased his potential in the competition. Kim's birthday tradition of eating pizza before a tournament paid off with a strong performance in the first round, setting the stage for an exciting battle for the lead. Scheffler's consistent performance this year, coupled with Kim's determination to bounce back from past setbacks, adds intrigue to the tournament. As players like Fowler and Zalatoris navigate challenges and opportunities on the course, the competition at the Travelers Championship promises excitement and surprises as it unfolds.
