Travelers: Adam Scott Ties Career Low Despite Changes to PGA Tour Schedule
Adam Scott had to recover quickly from an extraordinarily difficult final round of the U.S. Open. Like most of his peers, he didn’t have much time to heal his physical and emotional wounds because he had to play in the Travelers Championship the following week.
At TPC River Highlands, Scott seemed to still be affected by what he experienced at Oakmont. However, that concern was put to rest during the third round. The Australian tied his PGA Tour career-low record on Moving Day, shooting a 62.
“It was all good today. The big difference was I putted nicely right out of the gate,” he said.
“Made one on 1, freed up a little bit there. So, I believe I’m playing this well, but you’ve got to make some putts at the end of the day to shoot a number, so that was the difference between the first two days and today.”

However, Scott did not fail to take a subtle jab at the PGA Tour regarding its organization of the 2025 season schedule:
“It was a big letdown on Sunday last week. I knew I was going to have to play this week.”
“I actually think now the last couple years, having these Signature Events after majors, not that I’ve been in contention at all the majors, but like having to change my habits a little bit.”
“For my whole career I pretty much took every week off after a major, and all of a sudden we’re playing big events right on the back of it.”
The PGA Tour has been using the strategy of scheduling Signature Events the week after major championships. For example, the RBC Heritage was played after the Masters Tournament, the Memorial Tournament after the PGA Championship, and the Travelers Championship after the U.S. Open.
The Open Championship is the only major that will not be followed by an elevated event. Top players will have three weeks to recover before the FedEx Cup playoffs begin with the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Adam Scott carded an eagle, seven birdies, and a bogey during the third round of the Travelers Championship, climbing more than 30 spots on the leaderboard. He improved his performance by 10 strokes compared to the previous rounds, in which he had carded consecutive 72s.
He entered the final round of the US Open tied for second, but he was just another victim of Oakmont Country Club. He shot a final round 79, with one birdie, eight bogeys, and one double bogey, to finish in a tie for 12th place.
