PGA Tour Announces Tommy Fleetwood News at Travelers Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Tommy Fleetwood is in position to contend for his first career PGA Tour victory at the Travelers Championship.
Fleetwood catapulted up the leaderboard on Friday, carding a 5-under 65 at TPC River Highlands in Round 2. With a 9-under score for the tournament, the 34-year-old Englishman is tied for first place with Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas.
After shooting even par through his first nine holes, Fleetwood caught fire to close out his second round. He started his ascent up the leaderboard with an eagle on the par-5 13th hole, then another eagle with a hole-out on the par-4 15th.
A birdie on the 16th put him in a three-way tie with Scheffler and Thomas at the top of the leaderboard.
No other player in the Travelers Championship field carded two eagles through the first 36 holes at TPC River Highlands. Fleetwood accomplished that feat in just a three-hole span.
The PGA Tour took to social media to announce Fleetwood’s accomplishment after his round on Friday.
“Tommy Fleetwood (-9/T1) is the only player with multiple eagles through 36 holes at the Travelers Championship (Nos. 13 & 15/R2),” the tour’s official account wrote on X.

Fleetwood has three top-five finishes on the PGA Tour this season: T5 at The Genesis Invitational, T4 at the Truist Championship and T4 at the Charles Schwab Challenge. He missed the cut after shooting 9-over through his first two rounds at the U.S. Open last week.
Fleetwood will tee off in the penultimate pairing of the signature event alongside Jason Day, who sits in solo 4th at 8-under. Scheffler and Thomas will take the course as the final pairing on Saturday.
