The best-buddy duo of Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay made up the final group Saturday at the Travelers Championship. The pair won the Zurich Classic of New Orleans earlier this season at TPC Louisiana and were visibly comfortable throughout the third round.
They’ll be back together Sunday, too.
Schauffele bounced back nicely from his first bogey of the tournament at No. 13 with birdies on 16 and 17 to get to 17 under while Cantlay played consistently all day long. A bogey-free, seven-birdie 63 closed the gap between him and his good pal.
They’ll have the last tee time for the final round, with Schauffele one shot better than Cantlay.
Here are five takeaways from the third round of the Travelers Championship.
