Justin Thomas, Tommy Fleetwood tie Scottie Scheffler for Travelers lead

Justin Thomas and Englishman Tommy Fleetwood joined Scottie Scheffler atop the Travelers Championship leaderboard on Friday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
Thomas posted a 6-under-par 64, tied for the low round of the day, and Fleetwood shot a 65 to reach 9-under 131 for the tournament. Scheffler, who held a share of the lead after opening with a 62, managed a 69 that included a water ball and a double bogey at No. 17.
The trio was one stroke ahead of Australian Jason Day, who posted his second straight round of 66 to get to 8 under. Austin Eckroat, who was tied with Scheffler through 18 holes, struggled to a 71 Friday to land tied for fifth with Denny McCarthy (64).
Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley were still finishing their rounds as of 5:45 local time, both of them even for their rounds and 6 under for the tournament.
The $20 million signature event does not include a 36-hole cut. Ireland's Shane Lowry (73 on Friday; 5 over for the tournament), Rickie Fowler (77; 7 over) and Tony Finau (74; 7 over) all continued to struggle with their respective games.
