Who is leading the 2023 Travelers Championship after Round 1? Leaderboard, highlights explored

American golfer Denny McCarthy is the leader of the 2023 Travelers Championship after the first round of the tournament. He shot a 10-under 60 in a day in which 105 competitors played for par or better.

McCarthy finished an outstanding first round at the Travelers Championship. It was a bogey-free day for him with 10 birdies, four of them in a row.

His birdie on the last hole of the Travelers Championship, in which his ball missed the second shot by less than an inch, remained for history. It would have been an eagle that allowed him to go under 60 strokes for a round. However, this was the lowest score of his career.

Second place in the Travelers Championship is Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott with -8. Bradley had an almost perfect day, with nine birdies and only one bogey. Scott suffered a little more (a bogey and a double bogey), but with 11 birdies (five of them in a row), he managed to keep the pace.

The world number one, Scottie Scheffler, continues to show a great level and is in fourth place. It was also a bogey-free day for him at the Travelers Championship, with seven birdies (-7).

One of the spectacular notes of the day came from Rory McIlroy, who made the first ace of his PGA Tour career at the 2023 Travelers Championship.

Two golfers withdrew from the Travelers Championship: Kevin Kisner and Mackenzie Hughes.
