### Hovland Leads Scheffler by One at Travelers Championship

Sky Sports Champions League • June 27, 2026 at 5:15 PM ET

[×](/bn/sports?tab=skysports-champions-league)

**Viktor Hovland** takes a one-shot lead over **Scottie Scheffler** into Sunday's final round at the **Travelers Championship**. The Norwegian carded a six-under 64 at TPC River Highlands, capped by a crucial birdie on the 18th, while world No. 1 Scheffler bogeyed the last for a 67 after Friday's historic 60.

Scheffler's 19-under total looked commanding after four birdies in five holes on the back nine, but a missed par putt on 18 opened the door. **Patrick Cantlay** and Akshay Bhatia sit five shots back at 15 under following matching 64s, while Shane Lowry, Matt Fitzpatrick, Wyndham Clark, and Eric Cole share fifth at 13 under.

Alex Fitzpatrick's six-under 64 keeps his Open qualification hopes alive — the 27-year-old needs to hold 20th in the FedEx Cup standings to earn a spot at **Royal Birkdale**. He switched putters after Thursday's struggles. Tommy Fleetwood, last year's runner-up, slipped to nine under after a level-par 70.

The final round tees off Sunday with Hovland chasing his second win this season and Scheffler hunting a ninth PGA Tour title. Coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET on **Sky Sports+**, with the leaders pairing promising a showdown between golf's top two ranked players.
