Adam Hadwin, Nick Taylor and a rare start by Derek Gillespie are the Canucks in what is a pretty decent field at this Travelers Championship considering all the big boys are off or in Rio for Friday's opening ceremony.

After surviving Royal Troon and then Baltusrol, this TPC River Highlands in Connecticut will be a birdie feast for the players and fans alike and Bubba Watson is the headliner as he is back to defend his title before heading to Rio.

European Tour Aberdeen Asset Management Paul Lawrie Matchplay scoreboard http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2016/tournamentid=2016060/leaderboard/index.html

With so many European Tour players in Rio or heading there, this event hosted by Paul Lawrie who won the 1999 Open Championship at Carnoustie, yes the one the Jean van de Velde blew, is something for the left overs to compete in. It is also a chance for Lawrie who is from Aberdeen to give back to his community and raise some money for charity. Aberdeen Asset also sponsor the Scottish Open.

There are no Canadians in the field.
