Every PGA Tour start is precious for a non-member, so Will Gordon understands the opportunity that awaits him this weekend at the Travelers Championship.
With rounds of 66-62, the 24-year-old surged into the lead following the early starters Friday at TPC River Highlands. He sits at 12-under 128.
Gordon has no status on any major tour, which means he’s relying on sponsor exemptions and Monday qualifiers to get starts on the PGA Tour. Despite the difficult route, the 2019 SEC Player of the Year already has three finishes of T-21 or better in six starts, earning enough FedExCup points to qualify for the Web.
