Justin Thomas' artistry leads to Travelers Championship lead
The post Justin Thomas' artistry leads to Travelers Championship lead appeared first on ClutchPoints. The PGA Tour is in Cromwell, CT, this week for the Travelers Championship. It is the seventh and final Signature Event of the 2025 PGA Tour season. Like most Signature Events, this means it is a limited-field, no-cut event. Without a cut, players tend to feel a bit freer while out on the course, and that includes Justin Thomas. Advertisement Thomas has had an up-and-down season thus far. So, this environment at a course he enjoys is just what the doctor ordered. Following an opening round 3-under 67, he fired off a blazing 6-under 64 on Friday. That moved him into a tie with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler atop the leaderboard. Even more impressive were the conditions with which he played. Wind wreaked havoc on the field, with several top-ranked golfers struggling mightily. Wind gusts were clocked at over 30 miles per hour, with steady winds throughout the day. After his round, he was asked if there was an art to playing in the wind. 'Definitely,' Thomas said. Advertisement 'I just think it's control. I think it's why Scottie is so good in the wind. He hits the middle of the club face about every time. That's a huge part of it, distance control. 'The difference of riding the wind and holding the wind can be a 15- or 20-yard difference in the air in these kinds of conditions… If you're trying to hold one and you ride the wind, that's not good for a lot of reasons. I think it's way more art [compared to a science] because you just have to create and kind of feel out there.' 72 players entered the tournament to begin the week. Si Woo Kim and Jordan Spieth have already withdrawn due to injury. Of the 70 players tackling the TPC River Highlands course on Friday, only a handful played under par. The vast majority had a difficult time in the wind. PGA Tour winners like Sepp Straka, Rickie Fowler, Shane Lowry, and Tony Finau all shot around 10 strokes worse than Thomas on Friday. Even the aforementioned Scheffler had a tough time. He finished 1-under for the day, tied with Justin Thomas at 9-under, atop the leaderboard entering the weekend. Advertisement The tw0-time PGA Championship winner is very eager to take on the upcoming challenge. 'I see windy conditions, I just get excited because I know it's just extremely difficult, and a couple under goes a really, really, really long way. I just try to embrace it, and I feel like I do a decent job of that.' Related: Why Jordan Spieth withdrew from first PGA Tour event

Tracking record temps and rain to start the work week
Overnight Saturday, we didn't get much relief from the heat. We set a new record for the highest low temperature, with a low of 80°F, surpassing the previous record of 78°F set in 2013. Tonight, we could break another record. The record for the highest overnight low was 77°F, set in 2016. Our forecasted low tonight is 78°F, so we may experience another record-breaking warm night. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for most of Missouri and Kansas, in effect until 7 p.m. Monday. As we start the workweek, no relief from the heat is expected just yet. Temperatures will quickly climb into the upper 90s, with heat indices in the 100s, making for another hot day. After lunch on Monday, a low-pressure system in Kansas will approach from the west, triggering a cold front and bringing a chance for thunderstorms Monday night into early Tuesday morning. These storms are expected to be scattered, with the greatest impact to the north and west of our area. For Monday night into Tuesday, we are in a Level 1 risk (out of 5), while counties to the north, such as Holt and Nodaway, are under a Level 2 risk. The primary threats from this system will be damaging winds and small hail. While the risk is low for most of our viewing area, it's important to stay updated with the latest forecast and have the Storm Tracker app downloaded. Temperatures will gradually cool throughout the week, and by Friday, we expect highs in the upper 80s, a welcome break from the upper 90s. Rain chances will continue through the week, with Thursday expected to bring the next significant weather system.

Cold front brings relief from record heat and renews severe storm threat in Colorado
A cold front will move through overnight Sunday into early Monday, bringing much-needed relief from the heat across Denver and much of Colorado. This front will lead to two big changes for the week ahead: cooler temperatures and the return of storm chances. Highs will be stuck in the 70s and 80s from Monday through Thursday—a refreshing change after the recent stretch of record heat. Scattered thunderstorms will also return to the forecast. Strong to severe storms will be possible on both Monday and Tuesday. Monday will bring garden variety showers for most of the area, with a slight chance for one or two storms to produce hail and gusty winds near Denver. CBS Tuesday will bring a greater threat of severe weather. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main concern along the I-25 corridor and across the Eastern Plains. CBS Storms are expected to develop between 1 and 2 p.m., gaining strength as they move east through the evening hours.
