Fredrik Jacobson will enter Sunday's final round with a one shot lead (minus-16) over Bryce Molder. James Driscoll is three strokes back in third place, with 12 players at either minus-12 or minus-11.

Amateur sensation Patrick Cantlay, the leader at the start of round three, shot a 2-over 72 and is now five shots behind Jacobson.

Fredrik Jacobson birdied the 18th hole to move to 16-under, 1 ahead of Bryce Molder, who is on 18 now.

Molder hold a 38-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to tie Fredrik Jacobson for the lead at 15-under. This will be your final group of the day on Sunday.

Fredrik Jacobson birdied 14 and 15, Patrick Cantlay bogeyed the par-5 13th, Jacobson now at 15-under with 2-shot lead over Cantlay and Bryce Molder.

Amateur makes birdie on 9 and 11 to move to 14-under. No one at the top going really low, so Cantlay was able to overcome early struggles to retake lead. Jacobson, Molder and Trahan are at 13-under

Bryce Molder birdies the ninth hole to go to 13-under and sole possesion of the lead. It is definitely a shootout here at TPC River Highlands.

Four-way tie for lead at Travelers: Cantlay, Jacobson, Molder and Wagner. Cantlay and Wagner missed golden opportunities for birdie at 6.

Pat Cantlay and Johnson Wagner are both 12-under through five holes in the third round. Brian Davis, Fredik Jacobson, Nick Watney and Bryce Molder are all 1 back at 11-under. J.J. Henry is 2 back.

Patrick Cantlay bogeyed the easy, short second hole to fall back into a three-way tie for the lead with Johnson Wagner and Shane Bertsch at 12-under.
Bo Van Pelt is 1 shot back.

Paul Stankowski has birdied five straight holes and has moved to minus-10 for the tournament. He's about to complete nine holes for his third round.

Fairfield's J.J. Henry has the best front 9 of the day with a 32. Martin Laird has the best back nine of the day with a 33.

Bo Van Pelt and Fredrik Jacobson are one-under today, making it six at 10-under or better for the tournament. Leader Patrick Cantlay just teed off to start his third round.

D.J. Brigman had a hole-in-one on the 158-yard 11th. He's now minus-2 for the round and seven-under for the tournament.

JJ Henry is in the first group off the first tee while University of Hartford graduate Jerry Kelly is off the 10th tee.

Pat Cantlay, Johnson Wagner and Nick Watney go off No. 1 at 1:45 p.m. in the final group. Without any weather delays, it should put the tournament on schedule for Sunday with twosomes.

Patrick Cantlay holds a 1-shot lead over Johnson Wagner. Both golfers ar at 13-uner and 12-under respectively.
Nick Watney and Shane Bertsch are tied for third at 10-under. Bertsch will join Cantlay and Wagner will be in the final group when the third round begins at 11:45 a.m.
The cut came at 4-under, the lowest in tournament history. Among those heading home are Jim Furyk, Geoff Ogilvy, David Duval, Brad Faxon, Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard, Lucas Glover and first-round leader Jim Renner, who missed it by one.

But the cut looks to be coming at 4-under-par, which means Geoff Ogilvy, Lucas Glover and possibly Jim Furyk, if he doesn't birdie the final hole, will miss the cut.

Also likely going home is first-round leader Jim Renner, who followed up his 63 on Friday with a 74 to complete 36 holes at 3-under - and it won't be good enough unless the remaining golfers start making some bogeys.

Amateur Patrick Cantlay set the course record in the second round, firing a 10-under 60 to get to 13-under par through 36 holes. Hehas a four-shot lead in the middle of the second round.

Play was suspended at 8:01 p.m. Half the field has between seven and 16 holes to play to complete the second round. The projected cut is at 3-under 137.

Cantlay, a rising sophomore at UCLA, said he shot a 60 at his home course a few months ago.

Among the players at 9-under are Andres Romero, who still has 13 holes left in his second round, and Vaughn Taylor, a former tour winner.

Th seocnd round will resume at 7 a.m. Saturday. The third round will begin shortly after its completion.

Patrick Cantlay birdied the 14th hole, now has a two-shot lead on the field. He is 8-under for the round.

Patrick Cantlay, the amateur from UCLA, playing here on a sponsor's exemption, eagled the par-5 13th hole to vault into the lead at the Travelers at 10-under-par.

Vaughn Taylor slid birdie putt by hole on 18 to stay tied at 9-under with Webb Simpson and David Mathis, who is still out on course.

After a dreadful end to his back nine, Watson birdied 10, 11 and 12, parred 13 and 14 and then birdied 15 to get back to 6-under.
Brian Davis has joined Webb Simpson and Vaughn Taylor atop the leaderboard at -9.

Webb Simpson and Vaughn Taylor are tied for the lead at 9-under late in their second rounds.

The college freshman, the teenage phenom Patrick Cantlay is sharing the lead right now with Vaughn Taylor at 8-under. Cantlay is on the 10th hole now.
If Cantlay wins the tournament (early, I know) he would not receive the $1,080,000 first prize, as he is still an amateur. He has said that he wants to finish at UCLA and earn his degree. Noble yes, but if he watches the second-place guy get a check for $1 million, any human being would have to think twice.

Pat Cantlay, the freshman phenom at UCLA, who was the low amateur at the U.S. Open, has now gone to 7-under, making it a six-way tie for lead.

D.J. Trahan and Michael Putnam have joined the fray at 7-under par as the birdie assault on TPC River Highlands continues in the second round.

Webb Simpson and Vaughn Taylor have joined Brandt Jobe atop the leaderboard at 7-under. Amateur phenom Patrick Cantlay is 3-under through six holes in his second round and sits 1 shot back at 6-under.
Defending champ Bubba Watson parred his first two second-round holes and then birdied his next two to sit at -6. Since then, he has gone bogey, bogey, par, double-bogey, par and is now only 2-under going to the back nine. Missing the cut has become a real possibility for the man with the plaque on 18.

Brandt Snedeker started his second round with three straight pars, then buried five straight birdies to reach 5-under. His playing partners are Bubba Watson and Geoff Ogilvy, so that's the group to follow right now.

Brandt Jobe is alone in first after Jim Renner bogied his first hole of the second round. Jobe at -7, Renner and half the population of Cromwell is 1 shot back at 6-under.

Brandt Jobe has joined Jim Renner at the top (-7) with birdies on 11 and 12.

Tim Petrovic (U. of Hartford) leads the Nutmeggers at 4-under, Jerry Kelly (UHart) is at -2, J.J. Henry (Fairfield) and Jay Williamson (Trinity) are 1-under, Will Strickler (Madison) is 3-over and Generalissimo Fran Marrello (Canaan CC) is still withdrawn.

With a birdie on No. 9, Jim Renner has taken sole possession of first place at the end of his first round, a 7-under 63. He will tee off to begin his second round in about a half hour.

Better known in these parts as Heidi Watney's cousin, Nick Watney and former Masters champion Zach Johnson are at -5.
Bubba Watson, Scott Verplank, one of Watson's sudden-death victims last year and two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen are at -4.
Top American finisher in last week's U.S. Open Kevin Chappell, Vijay Singh and amateur phenom Patrick Cantlay are at -3.
Former U.S. Open champs Jim Furyk and John "I have the same name as a famous porn star so I'll change my first name to J.B." Holmes are at -2.
Former U.S. Open champ Geoff Ogilvy, former British Open champ Ben Curtis, former two-time British Open and PGA Championship winner Padraig Harrington and former one-time British Open and PGA Championship winner John Daly are at -1.
Those are the ones you may know that are under par right now.

Webb Simpson went birdie-birdie on his first two holes of his second round to pull into a tie with Moore, Romero, Rocha and Renner at 6-under with a share of the lead.

Tag Ridings just bogied the second hole to fall to -5 as leaders Ryan Moore, Andres Romero, Alexandre Rocha and Jim Renner are all knotted up at -6.
At this point last week, Rory McIlroy was leading the U.S. Open by 27 strokes.

Jim Renner, who just birdied the third hole, his 12th of the day, just went to 7-under-par to take the lead in the Travelers Championship.

He hails from Masachusetts. He was on the Hooters Tour last year. He is a rookie on the PGA Tour at 28, making it through the tour's Q School.

Rocco Mediate has withdrawn from the Travelers Championship with an elbow injury. The PGA Tour did not say which elbow it was.

Ryan Moore and Andres Romero both shot 6-under 64s to tie for the first-round lead. They lead eight golfers, including Nick Watney and Zach Johnson and Michael Bradley, all of who are also done with first round.

All of those who never teed it up Thursday are on the golf course. Once they finish, they will turn right around and tee off for the second round. Those who finished this morning won't tee off until 6 p.m. weather permitting.

The leader on the golf course is Vaughn Taylor, who is 5-under through 12 holes.

After sitting here without golf since 11:28 a.m., and two different rescheduled restart times,
play has been suspended for the day at shortly after 6 p.m.

Play will resume at 7 a.m.

Afternoon golfers will begin at 7:15 a.m.

Just like your alarm clock in the morning, the PGA Tour higher-ups keep pushing the start time back little by little. We are now scheduled to tee off at 6:30 p.m. Feel free to roll back over and pull the covers up.

New start time is 6 p.m. thanks to the little band of rain we are now having.

But play is still scheduled to begin at 5:45 p.m. Sounds pretty hard here in the media center.

Play will resume at 5:45 p.m. for a grand total of a 6-hour (roughly) weather delay.

As of 4:40 p.m., only six golfers have finished the first round of this year's Travelers Championship. Kris Blanks (-2), Ben Curtis (-1), Graham DeLaet (E), Scott Stallings (+1), Steve Elkington (+1) and Paul Goydos (+2).
If play resumes within an hour (not a definite), there would still be groups that won't get a chance to tee off at all today. Though not likely, the possibility exists for a 36-hole day tomorrow for some of the later groups.

Tournament director Nathan Grube stated the practice range "has no casual water" and that officials are letting the course drain for a little while before inspecting the conditions. Golf may actually be in the forecast.

Officials are out on the course checking the conditions but the practice range has opened. Morelli has already been kicked off to make way for the pros to loosen up.

It looks like it has...but more looks to be on the way. We are still waiting here for golf.

But at least this is a positive sign....

The rain has not let up whatosever here at the Travelers Championship.

If it does, it wil take significant time to get the course in playable shape. But the PGA Tour is waiting the storm out, like the rest of us.

Inside the media tent, the 2010 Travelers Championship is being replayed on television. Weather looks beautiful. And we're still waiting for Bubba Watson's drive on 18 to come to a complete stop.

The Travelers' logo is a giant umbrella. Advertising possibilities have been endless the last two days. Here's hoping Sunglass Hut takes over primary sponsorship this weekend.

It is now past 1:30 and it is absolutely pouring here in Cromwell at the Travelers Championship.

The good news is the course is built on a sand basin, so it drains quickly.

The bad news? We have no idea right now if, or when, play will continue in the opening round.

When the thunder rolled, the horn sounded. Golfers are allowed to finish whatever hole they are on when the horn sounds. After that, they head off the course. No changes on the leaderboard so far, Michael Bradley at -6 and a small army at -5.

Michael Bradley is at 6-under-par through 16 holes, leading seven players by one shot.

The first sounds of thunder have caused play to stop at 11:28. Will keep you updated.

The aptly-named Chris Couch (not the most fit guy on tour) just missed a long birdie putt that would have given him a tie for the lead with Michael Bradley at 6-under. Couch makes par and stays with the group at -5 (Bryce Molder, John Rollins, Bo Van Pelt, Vijay Singh, Fredrik Jacobson and Andres Romero).

Michael Bradley is at 6-under-par through 13 holes in the opening round of the Travelers Championship.
Bryce Molder, Zach Johnson, Fredrik Jacobson and Andres Romero are all at 5-under. Everyone still out on the course.

So far, no rain at the TPC....it won't be much longer, I'm afraid.

All golfers -- celebrities, pros and in between -- are off the course and action is over for Wednesday. The pro-am was largely affected by weather, with most not finishing and the afternoon groups only getting in 9 holes.
Let's hope for better weather for the rest of the week, although it's not looking too promising the next couple of days.
And to update a previous post, Morelli beat the crap out of The Miz.

WWE wrestler The Miz is in the media room now. Joe Morelli has challenged him to a match. No word on whether or not The Miz has accepted.

But play is still going on in the Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am.

This is a recording.

The afternoon groups will be playing nine holes starting at 2 p.m.

Morning tee times are done for day at Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am. The hope is to get the afternoon foursomes out for nine holes.

This could be a familiar refrain over the next few days - rain and thunderstorms at the Travelers Championship.

The Celebrity Pro-Am at TPC River Highlands has been suspended until the weather subsides.

Here is a story on the two veterans who have returned to the Travelers Championship after a 10-year absence.

Here are the tee times for the first and second round Thursday and Friday.

Here are the pairings for Wednesday's celebrity pro-am tournament at the Travelers.

Jim Furyk and Geoff Ogilvy have returned to play in the Travelers Championship for the first time since 2001.
David Duval is back for the first time since 2003.All three, along with Kenny Perry, Martin Laird are already out on the large driving range at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell.
It should make for an interesting tournament in one of the best fields the Travelers Championship has ever had - including previous title sponsors.

Former two-time U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen was among four qualifiers for this week's Travelers Championship on Monday at Gillette Ridge Golf Club in Bloomfield.

The 1993 and 98 Open winner joined Joe Ogilvie, John Merrick and Chris DeForest in the field. All four players shot 67.

Briny Baird and Michael Allen, who was originally in the qualifier, are also now in the tournament after two players withdrew on Monday, including Brian Gay.

The reason Rickie Fowler withdrew from the Travelers Championship become public on Saturday: a tweaked knee. Fowler missed the cut at the U.S. Open:

Here was his tweet on Saturday:

"Bummed out I won't be at the @TravelersChamp this year...tweaked my knee this week & need a week off to reduce inflammation docs orders."

Here is Sunday's story about the seven golfers who received sponsors exemptions into the Travelers Championship.
