Taylor, Loupe take early lead at Travelers Championship (The Associated Press)

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) -- Americans Vaughn Taylor and Andrew Loupe shot 6-under 64s to take the early lead during the first round of the Travelers Championship in Connecticut.

The 40-year-old Taylor, who won for the first time since 2005 at Pebble Beach earlier this year, strung together five consecutive birdies to shoot a 30 on the back nine.

Loupe pulled into a tie after sinking a 12-foot birdie putt on 18.

The pair held a one-stroke lead after the morning rounds.

Twenty-one-year-old Korean Si Woo Kim had the shot of the day, acing the 215-yard fifth hole during his morning round.
