Georgia golf has had a knack at producing elite PGA Tour talent over the years and at this week’s Travelers Championship, the case is no different.
Three Georgia Bulldogs sit at the top of the leaderboard headed into Saturday’s third round.
Bubba Watson is tied for first with Brice Garnett at 8-under par and Kevin Kisner and Russel Henley are both tied for 3rd at 7-under.

Watson still leads even after losing his driver head on the 14th.

11 former Bulldogs took the course this week at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
While the leaderboard may shift a bit with several golfers still mid-round, Watson, Kisner and Henley will all have a great shot at playing for the lead on Saturday and Sunday.
Henley was in contention at last week’s U.S. Open before sliding on Sunday to finish tied for 13th, while Watson finished tied for 50th and Kisner tied for 55th.
You can catch Saturday’s third-round and the final-round on Sunday on the Golf Channel from 1-3 p.m. ET and CBS Network from 3-6 p.m. ET.
