This past weekend, the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut played extremely easy. It simply was not a challenge as various records were broken. On Wednesday, it was announced that club officials are looking at making significant changes to make the course more challenging according to the Associated Press.
Just how easy was TPC River Highlands over the last week? Well, Keegan Bradley of Woodstock, Vermont won the 2023 Travelers Championship with a winning score of -23.

Then after 54 holes on Saturday, Bradley and Chez Reavie of Wichita, Kansas became the first two golfers in history to post scores of 64 or lower in each of the first three rounds of a PGA tournament.
