[caption id="attachment_5545" align="alignright" width="300"] Patrick Reed in the field this week[/caption] PGA Tour Travelers Championship TPC River Highlands Cromwell, Connecticut TPC River Highlands dates back to 1928 and has been tweaked several times in it's 90 year history, most notably by Pete Dye in 1982. The course is a parkland style course well suited for golf spectating and produces some fine golf drama. Last year's champion was Kevin Streelman who blistered the final nine of the championship, coming from five shots back. His final nine holes in 28 shots "made some noise" as he said, helping him to a 64 which included seven consecutive birdies. Notables in the field: Brandt Snedeker, Patrick Reed, Bubba Watson, Zach Johnson, Luke Donald, Keegan Bradley, Jason Day, Padraig Harrington, Sergio Garcia.
