Travelers Championship Tips

Travelers Championship - TPC River Highlands, Cromwell, Conn.

22 June 2015 - 28 June 2015

Tip date: 22 June 2015

After the excitement of the US Open the Tour heads to Connecticut to for the Travelers Championship. As ever, the event is held at TPC River Highlands. The course is very short at 6841 yards and consistently ranks as the easiest par 70 of the year. Making birdies is the name of the game here and -15 to -18 should be needed for victory.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Brendan Steele	2pt each way 45-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T25 Back Brendan Steele Again
Could Brendan add to his solitary Tour win this week? He’s always been a tad inconsistent but certainly thrives at River Highlands. He was a fast finishing T5 last year and has also posted two T13s in the last few seasons here. He’s having a solid year at 57th in the Fedex Cup and has posted some good finishes, most recently a T9 at the Wells Fargo. If he’s going to win in 2015 it will probably be here.
Marc Leishman	2pt each way 40-1	Ladbrokes	Finishing position: T39 Back Marc Leishman Again
Marc has steadily matured into a good pro over the last few years. He’s not done badly over the last few months with a strong showing at the WGC Matchplay and a very nice T5 at The Memorial. He’s back on a favourite course this week having won in 2012 and T11 last year. We think this is a cracking price for such a course specialist.
Chris Stroud	2pt each way 110-1	Bet365	Finishing position: T10 Back Chris Stroud Again
Chris is an up and coming player who excels on the shorter par 70 layouts. Most of his high finishes have been on these types of layouts. He was second here in 2013, losing in a play-off and his long term Travelers form is excellent. He’s had some good results this season and his T14 a few weeks ago at Colonial was another par 70. At this price we’re happy to have a punt this week.
