CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) -- Patrick Rodgers shot a 7-under 63 after barely making the cut to move within two shots of the lead at the Travelers Championship.

The 22-year-old former Stanford star made his PGA Tour debut at this tournament a year ago.

He played in the day's first group Saturday and is at 9 under with a round to go. He shot a bogey-free round. Five of his seven birdies came on the back nine, including two straight to finish.
