CROMWELL — There’s a 27-year difference between two of the golfers atop the Travelers Championship leaderboard after Friday’s second round, with 50-year-old Phil Mickelson alone in first at 13-under, and 23-year-old Will Gordon tied for second at 12-under. Twenty-nine year old Mackenzie Hughes, who led after round one, is also at 12-under.
Mickelson has done this before. He’s a two-time champion at TPC River Highlands, and a 44-time winner on the PGA Tour overall. Gordon, a year removed from winning SEC Player of the Year at Vanderbilt and playing in just his eighth tour event, has not.
