Russell Knox in top 10 with a 67 at Travelers Championship, Martin Laird has a 68
Who says age gets in the way?
Jerry Kelly, 49 years young, fired a 6-under 64 Thursday at the
Travelers Championship, grabbing a share of the 18-hole lead in the
process. Kelly, who boasts just one top 10 in 18 PGA Tour starts this
season, is joined at the lead number by Vaughn Taylor, 40 himself, and
Andrew Loupe, 22 years Kelly’s junior.
This week’s event takes place at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell,
Conn., less than half an hour from the University of Hartford – where
Kelly played college golf.
Clearly the home feel and crowd rejuvenated him on Day One.
“It’s great to see a lot of the people come out and support me,”
Kelly said. “It’s really nice of them. I was only here a short time –
four years – but a lot of people call this my second home.”
Kelly got the job done with two early birdies and then an eagle on
the drivable par-4 15th, his sixth, after he reached the green and then
holed a 45-footer. He’d bogey the next, but three more birdies coming in
got him to 6 under.
Loupe, who has missed six cuts in a row, also posted a one-bogey day,
stacking seven birdies around that lone blemish to rise into his share
of the lead. Taylor started his tournament with eight straight pars
before a birdie at the ninth and five straight from Nos. 12-16 put him
on top.
Taylor shocked everyone with his first PGA Tour win 11 years at the
ATandT Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but it’s been slim pickings since as the
40-year-old has made just seven of his last 16 cuts and posted a best
finish of T-33 in that stretch.
But that T-33 occurred last week at the PGA Championship, and while
Taylor has been surprised by his post-win dry spell, he appears to be
back on track.
“I thought I was just going to keep it rolling (after that win), but
that’s golf. Just when you think you got it, you kind of got reassess,”
Taylor said. “It’s good this week. Played well last week. Hopefully keep
moving.”
Jon Rahm, the
recent recipient of special temporary membership the remainder of 2015-16, opened with 5-under 65 thanks to a
hot first seven holes. He sits in a tie for fourth with Ben Martin and Marc Leishman.
Daniel Berger and Carlos Ortiz man the fort at 4 under while defending champion Bubba Watson opened in 3-under 67 for T-9.
Watson, who will represent team USA in the Olympics next week, led
the Rio bound contingent on Day One. Matt Kuchar posted 1-under 69 for
T-47 with Patrick Reed sitting T-73 after a first-round 70.
