2022 Travelers Championship Round 4 Betting and Showdown Picks

Xander Schauffele shot a 3-under 67 in Saturday’s third round to hold onto a lead that has shrunk to a single shot over good friend Patrick Cantlay. It was a bogey-free 18-holes for Cantlay who shot the round of the day with a 7-under 63. Tour rookie Sahith Theegala sits alone in solo third place and is three shots back. Considering their elite status over any of the other nearby competitors on the leaderboard, the tournament appears to be Schauffele’s or Cantlay’s to lose. With Schauffele not winning an individual title since the 2019 Sentry Tournament of Champions and fighting off the reputation of not being able to close out tournaments, if I didn’t already have an outright ticket on Cantlay, I would be all over his odds of +140 to win.
