Day two of the Travelers Championship was eventful, with Keegan Bradley shooting a 9-under 63 to join Denny McCarthy atop the leaderboard at 15-under. Past champion Chez Reavie sits two strokes back (-13), followed by Eric Cole at 11-under.

Notable players who missed the cut include Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood, Collin Morikawa and Max Homa.

In this article, we’ll provide a round three betting tip for a head-to-head matchup.

Travelers Championship Day 4 Prediction: Matchup (18 holes)

The following head-to-head matchup is for round three only.

Stephan Jaeger over Zach Johnson @ 20/33 (-165)

The 34-year-old Jaeger is in his second full season on the PGA Tour and, despite not winning yet, has strung together a series of good performances over the last two years.

The German has made seven consecutive cuts including in nine of his last 10 tournaments. He won six Korn Ferry Tour events (tied for second-most ever) en route to earning his PGA Tour full-time membership in 2021.

Despite being 34, the late-bloomer is becoming more and more comfortable on Tour. In round three, he definitely has an advantage over 47-year-old Zach Johnson, who is far past his prime and has missed four of his last six cuts.

Third-round scoring averages on the PGA Tour

  • Jaeger: 69.58 (19 events) Rank: 51st
  • Johnson: 72.11 (9 events) Rank: 186th

There is also a huge disparity in the Official Golf World Rankings between the two players. Jaeger ranks No. 118 and plays a full schedule, while Johnson ranks 258th and plays sparingly.

In five tournaments where both players participated in the third round, Jaeger shot lower on day three in all five events.

Houston Open 70 72
Sony Open 69 72
American Express 65 70
The Honda Classic 67 71
PGA Championship 69 74

The -165 being offered on Unibet provides value thanks to the significant comparison of where the two stand in their careers. Both players are currently at 6-under par, but Jaeger definitely has the upper hand to continue his good play over the next two days. Johnson has been much less consistent over four days, as shown in his stats and results below.
