Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim share a birthday and they will be fighting for the lead in the second round at the Travelers Championship. Kim shot an 8-under-par 62 on Thursday in the first round at the TPC River Highlands. That gave him a two-stroke lead in the final limited field, no-cut signature event on the PGA Tour schedule.

“I had a lot of pizza,” Kim said. “I wouldn’t do that in a tournament, but it’s my birthday and it’s kind of a tradition. Me, Scottie, we have the same birthday, so we had an early birthday celebration.” “Definitely feel like I’m swinging a lot better than I did last week,” he said. “It’s nice to get here on some familiar surfaces and hit some good putts and see some balls go in.”

Kim’s slump lasted for a single round. Scheffler’s could be over after one week. Fowler is hoping to snap out of a season-long skid.
