the best players in the world, the difference between a 72 and a 65 can be something as small as a slight grip change or a tweak in their position at address. Just ask Paul Casey, who had been missing to the left quite a bit on Thursday at the Travelers Championship, while still managing to shoot a first-round 65 and keep himself in the tournament.

But it worked, as the Englishman proceeded to fire a third-round 62 at TPC River Highlands, grabbing a commanding four-shot lead at 16-under 194 heading into Sunday.
