Justin Thomas and Englishman Tommy Fleetwood joined Scottie Scheffler atop the Travelers Championship leaderboard on Friday at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.

Thomas posted a 6-under-par 64, tied for the low round of the day, and Fleetwood shot a 65 to reach 9-under 131 for the tournament. Scheffler, who held a share of the lead after opening with a 62, managed a 69 that included a water ball and a double bogey at No. 17.

The trio was one stroke ahead of Australian Jason Day, who posted his second straight round of 66 to get to 8 under. Austin Eckroat, who was tied with Scheffler through 18 holes, struggled to a 71 Friday to land tied for fifth with Denny McCarthy (64).

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy and U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley were still finishing their rounds as of 5:45 local time, both of them even for their rounds and 6 under for the tournament.

The $20 million signature event does not include a 36-hole cut. Ireland's Shane Lowry (73 on Friday; 5 over for the tournament), Rickie Fowler (77; 7 over) and Tony Finau (74; 7 over) all continued to struggle with their respective games.
