Weekend Warriors – Travelers Championship

The weekend

Notable missed cuts (-2 was the line): Jason Kokrak, Austin Cook, Phil Mickelson, Bud Cauley, Cameron Champ, Cameron Smith, Tony Finau, Jordan Spieth, Charley Hoffman, Lucas Glover, Adam Hadwin, Sepp Straka, Max Homa

Weather consideration: Winds will be up on Saturday afternoon (in the 20mph range) and it’ll be hot, so the greens will be a bit tougher to get to this weekend. There’s currently a small chance of rain Saturday but definitely not enough to affect tee times or course conditions, it would just be a nuisance to play in.

Sunday sets up perfectly, with no real advantage in tee times when looking at winds – winds will be in the 10-18mph range throughout the day – and sunny conditions with no rain forecast. It’ll be slightly hotter, so the greens will be a bit more baked out than was seen in the first two rounds, so the late tee times will probably have a tougher time on the greens but that’s the only thing to consider.

MDF consideration: A huge one. As always, be mindful of the players near the cut line as the secondary cut will take out 10+ players most likely. There shouldn’t be too many trouble spots at this course, but with three water hazards and some horrendous putting, bad rounds exist so be very careful with people in the -2 to -5 range.
