Travelers Championship notes: Denny McCarthy finds groove with putter, ties Thomas for best second round score
CROMWELL – The putter was just off for Denny McCarthy in the first round of the Travelers Championship on Thursday, but not enough to worry. He came back out on Friday, the windy conditions on the course helping to lower his internal expectations, and shot 6-under-par 64 in the second round, leaping 31 spots up to fifth on the leaderboard. Advertisement 'I didn't really roll it that bad yesterday. It's just such a dramatic change from last week (at Oakmont) to this week, greens being really fast and slopey last week and then not as much slope. They seemed pretty slow yesterday; they might have been prepping for the amount of wind today,' McCarthy said. 'I hit a lot of putts that were good putts, burned edges, so it was a little frustrating because it felt like I could have maybe got a 3- to 5-under out of the round yesterday, and I didn't.' Frustrating, indeed. Had he found more success in less imposing conditions on Thursday, when he shot 1-under, McCarthy would have some cushion at the top of the leaderboard. With eight birdies on Friday, he was one of the few who were able to have success in the face of 30 MPH wind gusts. 'I think it was kind of like a lower your expectations, just kind of go out, try and hit the shot as best you can and move on type of day,' he said. 'I like those days. It's where I don't really have many expectations. You kind of get out of golf swing, too. You kinda start playing shots. You start countering the wind with certain shots or just playing with the wind on certain shots, not trying to be too perfect, just trying to picture a shot and hit it.' Advertisement McCarthy will spend his weekend chasing leaders Scottie Scheffler, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Thomas, who matched his 6-under on Friday. A special place for Cromwell in Cantlay's heart Patrick Cantlay will play the Travelers Championship every year he's able. The experience he had in 2011, shooting 10-under 60 in the second round, which still stands as the lowest round ever by an amateur on the PGA Tour, will have that effect. 'It's so great to see this tournament evolve over the years,' he said Friday, in the field for his eighth straight year and 11th overall. 'It's become one of the best tournaments on Tour. I know speaking for a lot of the guys, we really look forward to coming this week. It doesn't feel like 14 years ago that I played my first one, but it's been real cool to see how much better the golf tournament has got each and every year.' Advertisement Cantlay finished the 2011 tournament at 11-under 269, tying for 24th. He entered this year's Signature Event, the eighth and final of the PGA Tour season, having finished top-15 each of the last seven years, including a fourth-place finish in 2023 and fifth in 2024. Dealing with the swirling wind during Friday's second round, Cantlay made six birdies on the day but bogeyed No. 8 and No. 18, and found water for a double bogey on No. 13. His 2-under 68 moved him to 5-under through 36 holes. No shootout for Taylor Nick Taylor hasn't had a whole lot of success in eight appearances at The Travelers. Advertisement The 37-year-old Canadian has missed the cut five times and never finished better than 42nd, where he placed after shooting 3-over 273 last year. Good news for Taylor, there is no cut with it being a PGA Tour Signature Event. 'I haven't had a whole lot of success here for whatever reason. I think sometimes it's a shootout here, which I don't always prefer,' Taylor said after shooting 2-under 68, one of the better scores of the day, to get to 6-under through 36 holes. 'But it was tricky today. I think the weekend is going to be a little less wind, so it's probably going to be some low scores again. With guys at 9 (under), you've got to think at least – not at least, but probably around 20 is going to win.' U.S. Open slump JJ Spaun, coming off the week of his golf career winning the U.S. Open, couldn't seem to settle in at any point through the first two days at The Travelers. Spaun followed a 73 in the first round with a 71 on Friday, starting his day off with a double bogey on No. 1 and finally ending it with a birdie on No. 18. Advertisement Through 36 holes, Spaun has accumulated seven birdies, seven bogeys and two doubles. Kim withdrawals Si Woo Kim was the second golfer to withdraw because of an injury, following Jordan Spieth's neck and back pain on Thursday. Kim pulled out with a back injury after recording his second double bogey of the day on No. 12, which made him 8-over through 30 holes.

Golf star reacts to 'mashed potato' and 'baba booey' yells from fans
Denny McCarthy doesn't get annoyed at increasingly daft shouts from the galleries Amused Denny McCarthy reckons golf gobs are just a bit of fun. The increasingly ridiculous shouts of punters at tournaments, particularly in the United States, grates with a host of pundits and watching TV viewers as they gawp at the bizarre behaviour. Senseless shouts like 'Mashed Potato' and 'Light the Candle' are yelled out as players hit balls in events to the bemusement and irritation of most observers. On a tough day, you would imagine it must make some Tour pros want to throttle the offenders, yet McCarthy sees the lighter side after being asked his thoughts on the situation. He said: 'I don't mind it. I think it's a fun part of the game. Obviously you hear the 'Baba Booey' and you hear some of these other ones that you've heard for such a long time. "It's just fans trying to have fun out there. Maybe they've got fans listening, like: Hey, I'm with Rory [McIlroy], listen to his sixth tee shot, I'm going to yell something, stuff like that. It's just a fun part of the game.' Shouts or no shouts, McCarthy has plenty of reasons to smile at the Travelers as he sits just two off the leaders Tommy Fleetwood, Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas at the halfway mark. He survived the wind woe on day two and said: 'It felt nice to shoot a good score. I haven't played all that great lately, but I've put a lot of work in this week and started to see some good form the last few days. 'I'm just proud of how I battled. It was really tricky, would blow 25 one minute and then would drop down to 15, go to five and then kick back up. "When it's really gusty like that and changing directions like that, it's hard to get the yardages right. I do enjoy these conditions. My weather app said 14, 15, 16 miles an hour. "It's a liar because it was blowing like 25 to 30 on the range it felt like this morning. Umbrellas were kind of blowing around. People were kind of just laughing hitting balls. 'It's felt better the last few days. I feel like I can still improve on it. Just keep trying to stack days is important for me right now. It is the simple kind of fundamental stuff for me. "I try and keep the game really simple. When I start worrying too much about what the club is doing is typically when I'm not playing my best. "It's like I work on the stuff on the range and then it's like I get on the course and I'm still doing the same stuff. I might have that small key in my head, but it becomes almost like a different sport when you get on the range. "You've got to forget what you're doing on the range and then just go out, picture, play, and hope that some of those feels that you've been working on on the range have seeped into your on-course stuff.'
