CROMWELL, Conn. – Speaking late Saturday at the Travelers Championship, Jason Day knew he was going to be a long way behind Chez Reavie by the end of the third round.
“Chez just hit a phenomenal shot at 17,” Day said. “Assuming he's going to hole that.”
Reavie did, and when he was done with his assault on the back nine at TPC River Highlands, he found himself six clear of the field, seven ahead of Day.
Still, waiting for Reavie to finish, the former world No. 1 liked his chances.
“Yeah, that margin can dwindle pretty quickly, especially around a golf course like this,” Day said.
