CROMWELL, Conn. – On multiple occasions Sunday afternoon, Zack Sucher couldn’t find the words.

The happy-go-lucky guy who gushed all week about how excited he was to be contending in a PGA Tour event was suddenly speechless.

Trying to answer questions behind the clubhouse at TPC River Highlands, he used his finger to dab a spot under his left eye.

“It's life changing, to be honest,” he said.

With birdies on four of his last six holes, a chip-in to save his par at the 18th and a 3-under 67, Sucher recorded his best ever finish on the PGA Tour, a tie for second at the Travelers Championship, and his biggest payday.
