22/06/2024 22:43

The third round of the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, was suspended at 3:30 p.m. ET due to a dangerous weather situation — the final group of Tom Kim and Collin Morikawa was through six holes when the horn blew.

During the delay, two fans on site for the tournament were struck by lightning. According to BreakingNowCT on X/Twitter, both people are conscious and alert and were transported to the hospital.

The media were told the tournament would not resume before 5:30-6 p.m. ET. The PGA Tour wants to play golf Saturday to make Sunday a shorter day for the players — this is the third event of a signature event-major championship-signature event stretch.
