Spieth Wins Travelers Playoff With Bunker Birdie
Jordan Spieth won the Travelers Championship in a playoff against Daniel Berger at TPC River Highlands. Spieth holeed out from 60 feet for a bunker birdie on the first playoff hole to claim a wire-to-wire victory, tying Tiger Woods for 10 PGA Tour wins since World War II era. Berger birdied late to force the playoff but missed a 50-foot try on 18 that would have extended play.
