The Travelers: 2021 Notebook

Satoshi Kodaira made six birdies, one eagle in bid to become the season’s second tournament winner from Japan (Hideki Matsuyama/2021 Masters Tournament).

Kramer Hickok offset a bogey at his first hole with eight birdies, good for a PGA Tour career-low 7-under (63).

Following missed cuts in both previous Travelers Championship starts, Talor Gooch opened with a bogey-free 6-under (64).

In his first start at the Travelers Championship, Maverick McNealy opened with a bogey-free 5-under (65).

World No. 2 Dustin Johnson birdied his last two holes to open with an even-par (70) in effort to join Phil Mickelson as only players to successfully defend a Travelers Championship title.

On This Day in Golf History:

June 25, 1923 - Gene Sarazen won his second U.S. Open Championship and the fifth of seven majors with a three shot victory at Fresh Meadow Country Club in Flushing, Queens (NYC). Sarazen shot a final round (66) to record the lowest final round in U.S. Open history at the time. Arnold Palmer would eventually beat the record with his (65) at the 1960 U.S. Open. - Courtesy of Randy Walker, Author of On This Day in Golf History, available via Amazon.com and by clicking HERE
