Daniel Berger, Top 2015 Rookie, Nears Second Tour Win

Daniel Berger, who was the PGA Tour rookie of the year last season, earned his first tour win two months ago in Memphis and will be going for a second on Sunday after he shot an 8-under par 62 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn.

Berger, 23, made nine birdies, including seven on his final 10 holes, to finish at 15-under 195 after 54 holes.

Berger, who is still recovering from a left shoulder injury that forced him to miss several tournaments, including the British Open, had just one bogey and was two strokes off the course record, following up rounds of 66 and 67 that had him tied for the lead entering the day.
