After a grueling round Friday due to strong winds, scoring conditions were nearly perfect for Saturday’s third round at the 2025 Player’s Championship, the PGA Tour’s final signature event of the season.

It was a birdie fest at TPC River Highlands, with several rounds in the mid-to-low 60s and loads of exciting, highlight-reel shots. Tommy Fleetwood, who’s still seeking his first victory on the PGA Tour, holds the 54-hole lead by three shots over Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley.

Travelers Championship 2025 live leaderboard

Keep up with the latest scores on our USA TODAY Sports 2025 Travelers Championship leaderboard. This is what it looked like at the top after Saturday’s third round.

Tommy Fleetwood plays nearly perfect golf, holds solo lead after Saturday at the Travelers ChampionshipTommy Fleetwood did not miss a fairway Saturday during his third round at the Travelers Championship.In fact, heading into Sunday, he’s hit 21 fairways in a row.The Englishman has been absolutely striping the golf ball off the tee, hitting brilliant approach shots and cashing them in with solid putting. It’s all working for Fleetwood, who posted scores of 66, 65, and 63 in the first three rounds at TPC River Highlands, in desperate search of that elusive first win on the PGA Tour.Fleetwood has the most top 10 finishes (41) of any player without a victory on Tour, ever.He has held 54-hole leads before, though, so this tournament is far from over. But if he plays on Sunday like he did over the first three days, he’s going to be walking away with a trophy and $3.6 million.Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley figure to be the main threats to Fleetwood’s chances at finally breaking through to the winners’ circle. They’re both 13 under after excellent rounds Saturday in which neither made a bogey. Henley fired a tournament-best 9-under 61 while Bradley carded a 63.The two men who started the third round tied with Fleetwood at the top of the leaderboard had a day to forget. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and World No. 5 Justin Thomas, who made up Saturday’s final pairing, shot 72 and 73, respectively, dropping themselves out of contention. Keegan Bradley fires 63 to join a tie for second at the TravelersO Captain! My Captain!The 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain has another win at the Travelers in his sights. He fired a 7-under 63, comprised of seven birdies and 11 pars. About as clean as it gets.The Travelers Championship is always a homecoming of sorts for the Vermont native who moved all around New England during his childhood. He won this event in 2023, is it in the cards for him again in 2025?He enters Sunday at 13 under, which as of 5:50 p.m. ET, is three shots behind leader Tommy Fleetwood. Tommy Fleetwood cruising along with comfortable leadNo lead is ever actually comfortable on the PGA Tour, but you’d rather be up three shots than not, right?Fleetwood has been unflappable all day — all week, for that matter — and a birdie on the par-4 15th moved him to 16 under, three shots clear of Russell Henley, who’s in solo second at 13 under. Disaster: Justin Thomas makes 9 on par-5 13th to plummet down the leaderboardThanks for coming out, JT.The 16-time winner on the PGA Tour made an absolute mess of the par-5 13th hole at TPC River Highlands, which has been one of the most scoreable holes all week, with several eagles.Thomas didn’t make eagle, though. He made a nine.The disaster started with the tee shot. We saw a lot of really solid club tosses at Oakmont during the U.S. Open last week. Far less antics this week, but JT had us covered here.Thomas hit a textbook double-cross on the par-5 13th hole and hooked it directly out of bounds. The ball ended up on the railroad tracks to the left of the gallery. He hit his third shot off the tee into the fairway, then hooked his fourth shot nearly into the water before duffing two chips and two-putting for nine.Thomas is now 4 over for the day as of 5:30 p.m. ET. He’s 5 under for the tournament and 10 shots back of the leader, Tommy Fleetwood, after starting the day tied for the lead. Russell Henley fires tournament-best 61 to take the lead in the clubhouseHave a day, Russell Henley. The former Georgia Bulldog was as dialed in as it gets for Saturday’s third round, firing a 9-under 61 with no bogeys and nine birdies — the best round of the entire tournament so far.Henley made birdie on the 18th to move to 13 under for the tournament and take the clubhouse lead just after 5:15 p.m. ET. Tommy Fleetwood drains eagle putt from off the green to take a 3-shot lead at the TravelersHold on tight, Tommy Fleetwood fans — this might finally be the week.The Englishman is on an absolute tear in Connecticut. He’s 6 under for the day after draining this eagle putt from off the green on the par-5 13th, which put him three shots clear of the field at 15 under for the tournament. Russell Henley is holding onto solo second at 12 under with one hole left as of 5:05 p.m. ET. Rory McIlroy moves into the top 5 at the Travelers ChampionshipAfter a frustrating week at the U.S. Open and much discussion about his motivation following his win at the Masters, Rory McIlroy came to the Travelers with something to prove. He shot 6-under 64 on Thursday before carding 71 Friday to fall out of the upper tier of the leaderboard.Now, he’s right back in contention thanks to a birdie on the par-4 15th. He fired a bogey-free 32 on the front nine, too. Scottie Scheffler cards 4-over 39 on the front nine in the third roundThe world’s best player is spending his 29th birthday in a freefall down the leaderboard.Scheffler, who is defending his title at the Travelers Championship this week, shot 4-over 39 on the outward nine Saturday, falling all the way back into a tie for 21st place at 5 under. He began the day sharing the lead with Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Thomas at 9 under.Scheffler made a triple bogey on the first hole before making a double bogey on the par-3 8th. Uncharacteristic stuff from the three-time major champion, but he still has time to turn it around. Increased police presence seen at the Travelers after incident on the 18th green in 2024At last year’s Travelers Championship, protesters stormed the 18th green during the final round as the last group was preparing to putt, throwing smoke bombs and causing a major disruption. An activist group later claimed responsibility for the protest, which was aimed at drawing attention toward global warming and climate change.

The protesters were tackled by security and police personnel, handcuffed, and dragged off the golf course in front of everyone.This year, it’s obvious organizers want to prevent something like that from happening again, as they’ve increased the police presence around TPC River Highlands. Tommy Fleetwood posts clean front nine, makes the turn with the leadTommy Fleetwood wants this one.He’s in prime position to nab the first PGA Tour win of his career, holding onto the outright lead with 27 holes remaining. He fired a bogey-free 32 on the front nine Saturday to make the turn at 12 under, one shot ahead of Russell Henley, who’s in solo second. Keegan Bradley, Rory McIlroy, Russell Henley making an early push on SaturdayWorld No. 2 Rory McIlroy is just three shots off the lead as of 3:40 p.m. ET. He’s 9 under for the tournament and four under for the day after carding a bogey-free 31 on the outward nine. Similarly, Russell Henley shot bogey-free 30 on the front nine and also sits at 9 under.Meanwhile, 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley is on fire to start his third round. The 39-year-old from Vermont is 4 under through 7 on the day and in a tie for second with Jason Day at 10 under. Tommy Fleetwood drains a bomb on No. 5 to take a two-shot leadIt’s well-known among the golf world that Tommy Fleetwood is still searching for his first win on the PGA Tour. He has amassed 41 top 10 finishes without a victory, making him one of the best Tour players outside the winners circle, well, ever.He’s on a mission this weekend. He made birdie on No. 3 before canning this 66-footer for birdie on the 5th. He’s 11 under for the tournament, two shots clear of the field as of 3:15 p.m. ET. Scottie Scheffler makes triple bogey on the first hole of his third roundNot the start you expect from the World No. 1.Scheffler hit his tee shot in the rough, his second shot in the bunker, his third to the left side of the green, duffed a chip on his fourth shot, then three-putted for a seven.The disaster set Scheffler all the way back into a tie for 10th, four shots behind Justin Thomas, who made birdie at the first to take the solo lead just after 2:45 p.m. ET.The birthday boy has some work to do, now.

Final group tees off for the third round of the Travelers

The final pairing of co-leaders Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas is making their way down the first fairway as we are officially off and running for the third round of the 2025 Travelers Championship.

Scheffler and Thomas are both ranked inside the top five in the world and they have a combined 32 wins on the PGA Tour (16 each).

Get your popcorn ready, we’re about to see a lot of birdies.

Players going low early on Saturday at the Travelers Championship

Several pros on the golf course have excellent rounds going as we creep closer to the final groups teeing off at TPC River Highlands.

Taylor Pendrith and Adam Scott each shot 8-under 62, while Viktor Hovland is 7 under through 16 holes. They’ve all put themselves into the top 10 before the leaders even start their third round.

That’s moving day, folks.

Viktor Hovland rockets up the leaderboard with 29 on the front nine

If there’s anyone who can provide a perfect example of the difference in scoring conditions between Friday and Saturday, look no further than Viktor Hovland, who’s fresh off a solo third at the U.S. Open last week.

The 27-year-old from Norway shot 40 on the front nine yesterday. Today? 29. He made six birdies and three pars, and he’s suddenly vaulted himself into the top 10 at 5 under for the tournament as of 12:30 p.m. ET.

Adam Scott is the first to make a big move on Saturday at the Travelers

Less than a week removed from being in the final group at the U.S. Open last Sunday, Adam Scott has dialed it back in. The 44-year-old Aussie started slow the first two days at the Travelers, posting a pair of 72s to enter the weekend 4 over.

There’s nothing slow about his third round, though.

As of 12:20 p.m., Scott is 8 under through 15 holes after shooting 29 on the outward nine and making birdies on Nos. 12 and 14. He’s 4 under for the tournament now, and as he comes down the closing stretch, he finds himself creeping into contention on moving day.

Is TPC River Highlands back on easy mode for moving day at the Travelers?

Thursday saw 14 players shoot 66 or better. Friday? Four.

Strong winds ramped up the difficulty during the second round at TPC River Highlands, which typically yields a birdie-laden scoring fest. A steady breeze at 15 mph with gusts up to 40 mph had players just trying to grind out their rounds without causing too much damage to their scorecard.

It seems as if Saturday might be a lot more like the opening round, though. Winds will be minimal — rarely eclipsing 10 mph out of the west — and hot, humid conditions will allow players maximum distance and spin.

Early scores being posted Saturday back up this notion that we’re back on easy mode in Connecticut. Adam Scott shot 29 on the outward nine to begin his day, Matt Fitzpatrick started 4 under through eight, while Rickie Fowler is 4 under through 13 after a 77 on Friday.

Needless to say, there are low scores to be had out there on moving day.
