If you like birdies and eagles, the Travelers Championship is your kind of tournament. The TPC River Highlands setup is conducive to low scores, and players took advantage on Thursday, with several carding rounds in the low 60s. Brendan Steele led the scoring charge, shooting an 8-under round of 62. The full field will be back on the course on Friday and scores could dip into double-digit red figures. There will also be a race to make the cut and it might take an under-par score to make the weekend.
Travelers Championship 2014: Tee times, TV schedule, streaming for Friday’s round
The scores went low at TPC River Highlands on Thursday and viewers will have a few options to watch numbers dip even further into the red on Friday.
Jeff Haynes
A total of 15 players shot 65 or better on Thursday including several notable names. Sergio Garcia and Brandt Snedeker are both 5-under heading into the second round while Ryan Moore is one shot off the lead at 7-under. Keegan Bradley and Matt Kuchar aren’t too far off the pace at 4-under. While a course set up for scoring makes birdies easier to find, it also makes them more required. Players will likely need rounds in the 60s on Friday if they are going to keep pace. Zach Johnson will have the most work to do among the big names in the field as he begins the second round at 1-over. Johnson was all over the map on Thursday, carding four birdies, four bogeys, an eagle and a triple bogey on the way to a 1-over round of 71. The cut projects to come in under par, so Johnson will need a solid second round if he’s gong to be around for the weekend.
Johnson will play in the morning wave on Friday with an 8 a.m. ET tee time off the 10th tee. He’ll be joined by Garcia and Patrick Reed, and the trio will follow another notable group onto the course. Kuchar, Dustin Johnson and Ken Duke are scheduled to tee off at 7:50 a.m. Bradley will be paired in one of the late notable groups, playing with Jason Day and Erik Compton. The three are scheduled to go off the first tee at 1 p.m. Ben Crane, Bubba Watson and Hunter Mahan will tee off one group prior at 12:50 p.m.
Golf Channel will provide second-round television coverage, beginning at 3 p.m. The coverage will run for three hours and allow viewers to watch some of the afternoon wave play live. That should include Bradley and his group, who will likely be around the turn when television coverage begins. The coverage will also be online via a live simulcast stream from Golf LiveExtra.
In addition to the television coverage and online simulcast, there will also be a featured hole stream from PGATour.com. The stream will run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. with a focus on Nos. 15 and 16. That could make it an eventful stream as three eagles were made on No. 15 on Thursday. Here is a complete look at the second round coverage and tee sheet. All times Eastern.

Online: Golf LiveExtra - 3 to 6 p.m., PGA Tour featured stream of Nos. 15 and 16 - 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
