Travelers championships

Hero World Challenge: Justin Thomas, who has not won in more than two years and Scottie Scheffler, who has eight wins in 2024 and knows how to pull off wins from near-impossible situations, were separated by just one shot after three rounds at the Hero World Challenge 2024.

Bogey-free Thomas (66) moved to 17-under, while Scheffler (69), despite his 40-hole bogey-free streak ending on the Par-4 13th, was 16-under to set up an exciting battle between a man, who cannot stop winning and one who is desperate to win after a long time.

Chasing the top duo hard was young Tom Kim, who began the week with a 74, that placed Tied-18th in a field of 20. Kim, six-under for the front nine, was eight-under through 10 and then three birdies in a row put him on a 59-watch at 11-under two holes to play. Flawless till then Kim erred and gave away a double bogey on the 17th but finished a birdie from the bunker on 18th for a 62, that was one shy of the course record. Rickie Fowler’s 61 in 2017, the year he won the HWC, is the record card.
