FINAL GROUP UNDERWAY

Good evening all, and welcome to the final round coverage of the Travelers Championship where, at the opening hole, Tommy Fleetwood has seen his overnight advantage go from three shots to one.

The Englishman, who is searching for a first PGA Tour win, has to hack out from the thick rough and, unable to get up-and-down, he falls back to 15-under, one shot clear of Russell Henley, who birdies the opening hole.

Fleetwood leads by one with 17 holes remaining.

ANOTHER TWO SHOT SWING

Henley birdied the opening hole but, at the second, he goes long of the green and, following a poor chip shot, he misses his par putt and taps in for bogey.

Bradley, who just misses his birdie attempt, is in for par, while Henley also pars as both men are 14-and-13-under. Fleetwood is now 15-under, as they head to the toughest hole on the course, the par 4 fourth.

EXCELLENT APPROACH FROM TOMMY

The par 4 fourth is the hardest hole on the course and, in the final group, you can sense the tension, with all three men hitting wary tee shots.

Henley, who is just on the fairway, puts his second shot to 40-feet, while Fleetwood, who is in the thick rough, manages to put it to 35-feet.

Given his lie, it’s a beautiful shot from Fleetwood, who then watches Bradley, from the middle of the fairway, put his…
