The 2022 Travelers Championship will be underway this week. Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Scottie Scheffler are among the top golfers expected to have success at TPC River Highlands, but here are three sleepers who could be making even louder noises there. Check out some of the sleepers in the 2022 Travelers Championship below.
The 38-year-old Leishman is coming off a T14 at the US Open, which was a nice rebound for him following a missed cut at the 2022 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday. Among the six PGA TOUR victories under his belt so far in his career, one of them was a win at the 2012 Travelers Championship. Could Leishman weave his magic in the same tournament in the 10th year of his success there? Leishman enters this week’s tournament with three top 10s and eight top 25s and 15 made cuts in 18 starts on the season.
Steele is 8 of 11 so far in his career in tournaments played at TPC River Highlands. While he has yet to win there, Steele has a pair of top 10s on that course, including a sixth-place at the 20220 edition of the Travelers Championship and a fifth place at the 2015 Travelers Championship. As for his current form, he’s looking decent, having made the cut in all his last seven starts, a stretch that includes his T9 at the 2022 PGA Championship and T19 at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday.
Ranked just 108th in the world, Dahmen sort of surprised people last week when he had a share of the lead at the 2022 US Open after two rounds. He regressed in the final two rounds to settle for a T10 in the end, but still, he is 3 of 3 in his last three starts and now has three top 10s in 21 starts this season.
