Check the yardage book: TPC River Highlands for the PGA Tour's Travelers Championship
TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut – site of this week's Travelers Championship on the PGA Tour – most recently was renovated by Bobby Weed after many architects made changes over the past century. Founded as Middletown Golf Club in 1928, it became Edgewood Country Club in 1934. The PGA Tour took over the property in the 1980s, and Pete Dye redesigned a layout that reopened in 1982 as TPC of Connecticut.
Weed redesigned it as TPC River Highlands in 1989, and he worked on the private course again in 2016 to remodel the bunkers and update strategic demands. Short by modern Tour standards, TPC River Highlands will play to 6,844 yards with a par of 70 this week.

With his brother on the bag, Kurt Kitayama fires career-low 60 Saturday at the 3M Open
Every so often on the PGA Tour there are moments that remind us why Saturday has long been referred to as "Moving Day." Kurt Kitayama started the third round at the 2025 3M Open eight shots behind the 36-hole leader, Thorbjorn Olesen. He finished just before 1:30 p.m. ET with the outright lead, three strokes clear of the field. After posting a 28 on the outward nine, he spent the entire back nine on 59 watch, but a bogey at the par-3 17th all but dashed Kitayama's hopes of joining that prestigious club. He walked to the tee at the par-5 18th needing eagle, and after his tee ball found the right rough, he decided to lay up and give himself a good chance for birdie. "[My ball] was just like a foot in the rough and the lie was — I needed to be a foot in the first cut and I would have gone for it. It was just very questionable, 220 out, I didn't really know if it would jump out of there or maybe just dive. Had a good round going so that would have really stunk if it goes in the water there." Still, he nearly salvaged the 59 with this shot into the green: The 32-year-old California native ultimately signed for an 11-under 60 and entered the clubhouse at 17 under for the tournament after narrowly sneaking inside the 5-under cutline Friday. "Yesterday's round felt like I didn't have any control," Kitayama said. "I hit some balls after, talked to my coach, Chris Como, and kind of worked through some things on the range. Felt like I found something that I could go with. And warming up today, felt pretty good and it kind of showed on the course. Yeah, was happy I was able to find that." He might have felt comfortable warming up, but he certainly didn't think he'd be flirting with 59. "I don't think you really have a number [in mind] going out into any round, just kind of take what you can get. You know, as it comes down the stretch, then the number kind of pops in your mind." The number ended up being 60, which shatters his previous career low of 62, and according to the man himself, it's the best round he's ever played. "Well, it's not only my Tour career best, it's like my personal best. Yeah, it means a lot, especially to have my brother on the bag. It's a really cool experience having that opportunity coming down the stretch. And yeah, it's good to have that momentum going into the final round." Kitayama will now enter Sunday in prime position to capture his second career PGA Tour victory — his first of which came at the 2023 Arnold Palmer Invitational. It's been somewhat of a slog for Kitayama in 2025. He has just four top 25 finishes in 18 starts and entered this week 110th in the race for the FedEx Cup. Another solid round Sunday and he could be walking away in much better standing, which is vital given that next week's Wyndham Championship is the final regular season event on the PGA Tour's 2025 calendar. The FedEx Cup playoffs begin the following week at the FedEx St. Jude Classic in Memphis. Keep up with all the action from Saturday's third round at the 2025 3M Open with our live updates page.

Tadej Pogačar closes in on fourth Tour de France title
Tadej Pogačar closed in on a fourth Tour de France title after safely finishing Saturday's penultimate stage and maintaining his big lead over archrival Jonas Vingegaard. Australian rider Kaden Groves won the 20th stage with a late solo breakaway, while Pogačar rolled over the line about seven minutes later in the same time as Vingegaard. The Slovenian cycling star leads the two-time Tour winner Vingegaard by 4 minutes and 24 seconds, with German rider Florian Lipowitz 11:03 behind Pogačar in third overall. Barring a heavy crash or illness, Pogačar was expected to celebrate Sunday and move level with British rider Chris Froome on four Tour titles. Victory would also give Pogačar a fifth Grand Tour after winning the Giro d'Italia in dominant fashion last year. 'I am more or less sure of my overall victory, but I still don't want to say anything about it. I want to stay focused until I have crossed the finish line in Paris,' Pogačar said. 'That's one of the most beautiful parts of this sport. We are 180 guys who spend weeks riding in the mountains and in the end, all of a sudden, we come to the streets of one of the biggest cities in the world.' However, Sunday's final stage of this edition is not a largely processional one, as is usually the case, and could potentially prove somewhat problematic toward the end with three consecutive climbs. 'I am unsure of how the final stage will pan out,' Pogačar said. 'The course is relatively short, and that will make for a rather punchy effort.' On Saturday, the 184.2-kilometer route through eastern France featured three small climbs and a moderately difficult one up Côte de Thésy before finishing in Pontarlier. But there was scant opportunity for Vinegaard to attack Pogačar. As the riders set off Saturday in driving rain, the yellow jersey group stayed safely at the front until breakaways formed. When the front group tackled the 3.6-kilometer Côte de Thésy, Frenchman Jordan Jegat launched a solo attack, but he was then overtaken by Australian rider Harrison Sweeny. As rain fell heavily again with 40 kilometers left to ride, Sweeny opened up a 50-second lead, only to be reeled in shortly after. The wet roads were treacherous at high speeds. Frenchman Romain Grégoire and Spaniard Iván Romeo crashed taking a sharp turn and slid sideways off their bikes. Both continued. Groves surged ahead 16 kilometers out and held on for his first Tour stage win and 10th at major races. The 26-year-old has two at the Giro d'Italia and seven at the Spanish Vuelta. 'Winning in all three Grand Tours is a dream of every rider,' he said. 'We saw today as a chance to win from the breakaway. We played our cards correctly and I had super strong legs.' Groves was 54 seconds ahead of Frank van den Broek and 59 clear of Pascal Eenkhoorn. The final stage of the Tour de France is traditionally a largely processional one, with the overall leader all-but-guaranteed to win — barring mishap — and only the sprinters contesting the stage win at the end, following several laps around Paris. But this year's last stage is very different and could prove spectacular. Breaking with decades of tradition, it features three ascents of Montmartre Hill, a short and sharp climb that featured at last year's Paris Olympics. Some riders have expressed concern that the sinewy, cobbled Rue Lepic climb, lined with heaving fans either side at extremely close proximity, may be problematic. The final climb up Rue Lepic comes less than 7 kilometers from the end, before the riders finish on the Champs-Elysées. Around 3,000 police officers will be deployed to ensure security over the 132.3-kilometer route, which starts from the outskirts of Paris at Mantes-la-Ville before heading into the city.
