Crazy: Streelman Finishes With 7 Birdies To Win Travelers

Yes, his names screams journeyman and the Travelers Championship is not a major, but Kevin Streelman accomplished something pretty spectacular to beat a sneaky-good field in Connecticut while the world was watching USA-Portugal or the exciting conclusion to the U.S. Women's Open.

Brian Wacker with the story of Streelman, who, with wife Courtney, experienced a lifetime's share of stress earlier this year, and also admitted to some rather funny "zone" thoughts during a stunning seven birdie finish that surpassed Mike Souchak’s previous mark of six straight from the 1956 St. Paul Open.

“When you're in the zone like that, when athletes talk about being in the zone, everything is really slow, and it's really clear and concise, and it's very vivid,” said Streelman, who began the day four strokes back and was 2 over through his first seven holes Sunday. “The lines are easy to see. The hole seems to appear bigger. It's almost to a point it doesn't matter how you read the putts because you just know they're going in before you hit them.”

At one point, Streelman had to back off his putt on the 12th hole because he started thinking about the fishing vacation he is taking next week in Flagstaff, Ariz.

He made the putt and followed with six more birdies, then had to wait 45 minutes to see if it would be enough.
