Golf: Jacobson wins PGA Travelers crown

CROMWELL: Sweden’s Fredrik Jacobson fired a four-under par 66 to capture his first US PGA victory, winning the Travelers Championship by one shot over Americans Ryan Moore and John Rollins. Jacobson, a three-time European Tour winner, took his first US PGA crown in his 188th attempt, taking the $1.08 million top prize with a 72-hole total of 20-under par 260 on the River Highlands course. “It feels unbelievable,” said Jacobson. “It has been a long wait. I’ve been getting closer and closer so it feels nice to pull this one off.”
