CROMWELL, Conn. – One bad swing cost Patrick Cantlay the early lead Thursday at the Travelers Championship.
Cantlay was cruising along at 6 under when he reached the par-3 8th, his second to last hole of the day.
Bogey-free to that point, Cantlay ended up making double after his tee ball came up 30 yards short of the flag – and in the water.
“Just hit it a little fat, and it's got to get up in the air to get the wind,” he explained. “It was downwind and didn't get the wind because I hit it fat and it went in the water.
