The Olympics may be just around the corner, but expect a deep field for the upcoming 2016 Travelers Championship. Names like Bubba Watson and Henrik Stenson will be at the TPC River Highlands looking to dominate the tournament littered with other players hoping to score a title. Let’s now take a look at some of the long shots of this event.
Levin is hoping that good things will start to come after a relatively impressive T14 finish at the RBC Canadian Open. Prior to that event, Levin had a five-tournament streak in which he wasn’t able to place better than a T57. That stretch includes a forgettable T65 at the U.S. Open and a T63 at the Barracuda Championship. On the season, Levin only has a pair of top 10’s, the last coming in the form of a T4 at AT&T Byron Nelson last May.
John Senden
Senden has yet to take home a title this season, but he appears to be flirting with one of late. While he missed the cut in consecutive fashions at the Barracuda Championship and Barbasol Championship, Senden managed to get three top 30 finishes in three of his last five starts. He had a T11 at the Memorial Tournament, a T29 at Quicken Loans National, and a T23 at the RBC Canadian Open.
Tim Wilkinson
Wilkinson deserves none of your attention—unless you really dig the long shots. Wilkinson has failed to make the cut in three of his last four starts, including back-to-back ousters at the Barbasol Championship and RBC Canadian Open.
All told, he’s missed the cut six times out of the 19 events he’s played so far this season. That being said, Wilkinson knows a thing or two about surpassing expectations, as evidenced by T11 in the Wells Fargo Championship back in May and followed that up with a T4 at AT&T Byron Nelson.
