The respective division winners were: Brent Paladino (Connecticut State Golf Association), Augusta National Division; Kevin Shea, Great Neck CC, 24 points; Kevin Giancola, Golf Quest, St. Andrews Division; and Tony Kelley, Wyckoff CC, Whistling Straits Division.

Patrick Reed, Luke Donald and Branden Grace are the three latest golfers who have committed to this year's Travelers Championship June 25-28.
