The 4 biggest movers from Day 3 at the Travelers Championship
Saturday at the Travelers Championship saw all 85 players make a move one way or another, but four in particular stood out. A 25-year-old from Taiwan and a Tour journeyman made moves in the right direction, while a pair of rookies went backward.
Biggest rise
C.T. Pan (Up 39 spots)
Pan was finally rewarded for his accurate ball-striking on Saturday, carding the lowest round of the day with a 64. The 25-year-old hasn't made a bogey since the 16th hole on Thursday, and is four shots back of Jordan Spieth.

The key rise
Boo Weekley (65)
The 43-year-old hasn't won on the PGA Tour in over four years but put himself into position to end that drought tomorrow. After a front-nine 35, Weekley added five birdies on the back side to shoot a third-round 65 and sit in second place. "It's been a struggle the last couple of years, and this year has really been a struggle," Weekley told PGATOUR.com after his round. "It's good to be back up there. It feels good."
Biggest fall
Sebastian Munoz (Down 48 spots)
The only highlight in Munoz's round came on his last hole of the day, when he made a 20-foot birdie putt at No. 9. The Colombian made five bogeys and added a double en route to a 5-over-par 75, missing the Saturday cut.
Started (-3) / Finished (+2)
The costly fall
Wesley Bryan (75)
Bryan's round went like this:
- 8-of-18 greens hit
- Nine fairways found
- 1.750 putts per GIR
- Three birdies, four bogeys, and two doubles
The damage amounted to a round of 75, moving him well out of contention heading into Sunday's final round.
