Scheffler Holds Slim Lead Over Morikawa as Storm Halts Travelers Championship

Sky Sports Champions League •

Scottie Scheffler maintained a one-shot advantage over Collin Morikawa when lightning and heavy rain suspended the final round at TPC River Highlands. The world No 1 stood at 20 under with five holes remaining, while Morikawa posted a career-low 61 to match that total and claim the clubhouse lead.

Overnight leader Viktor Hovland, chasing his first PGA Tour victory in 15 months, stumbled early with a bogey on the opening hole. He recovered to post pars on the next four holes but faded to 19 under before the horn sounded. Hovland's bid for an eighth tour title remains alive if weather allows completion.

US Open champion Wyndham Clark carded six birdies through 14 holes to reach 19 under, and England's Matt Fitzpatrick moved within three shots of the lead with seven birdies against two bogeys. Both players still have holes to finish when play resumes.

Scheffler's pursuit of a second PGA Tour title this season hangs on Monday's finish, with the world No 1's final-round performance under scrutiny after missing several early putts despite birdies on holes 10 and 13.
