Good guy Paul Casey shoots 62 to lead on soft TPC Highlands

PGA Tour Travelers Championship leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/leaderboard.html

After playing an almost impossible Shinnecock Hills at the US Open last week, TPC Highlands, the site of the Travelers Championship must fell like falling into a big soft feather bed to those to have played both.

English good guy, Paul Casey took full advantage of the soft greens and shot  -8 62 on Saturday to take a four-stroke lead into the final round. His win at Valspar in Florida in March was his first PGA Tour title in nine years, but he called the bogey-free round at TPC River Highlands his best of the year.

Casey was second here during his first visit in 2015, came in 17th a year later and had a 5th a year ago and stated the obvious " I love this golf course".

His 62 included six birdies and an eagle.  The stats show he hit all 18 greens and has a streak of 23 straight heading into Sunday, at -16, 194. He summed up his round like this: “It was clinical, I did everything I wanted to do. I can’t do any more than that.”

Jason Day shot 66, and Bubba Watson 67, leaving them -10. Watson came from six back to win the 2010 event and beat Casey in a playoff in 2015.

Canadian scores: Mackenzie Hughes shot a +1 71 to finish the round at under-4 while Adam Hadwin  shot a +3 73.
