Earlier this month, Denny McCarthy was in the driver’s seat at the Memorial until a closing bogey forced a playoff against Viktor Hovland. The Norwegian bested McCarthy, and the search for his first win on the PGA Tour continued.
However, through 36 holes of the 2023 Travelers Championship, McCarthy is in prime position to hoist hardware for the first time.
After an opening 10-under 60, McCarthy got around TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut, in just 65 shots Friday to take a share of the halfway lead at 15 under, alongside Keegan Bradley — who we’ll cover in a minute.
After playing the first nine in even par, McCarthy turned it on once he made the turn, pouring in birdies at Nos. 10, 13, 14, 15 and 18 for a back-nine 30.
“I’ve been playing some nice golf coming into this,” McCarthy said. “Just keep trying to get better every day. Still some things — I’m going to go over to the range. There are still some things I think I can improve on for the weekend.”
If you missed any of Friday’s action in New England, no worries, we have you covered. Here’s everything you need to know from the second round of the Travelers Championship, plus a look at Saturday’s weather forecast.
