Hats off to Russell Knox (The Associated Press)

Russell Knox packed a surprising amount of power when he won the Travelers Championship.

Not with any shot off the tee. With the cap off his head .

''Until I actually saw a clip on Sky Sports, I didn't even realize I threw it as hard as I did,'' Knox said.

The Travelers Championship was sandwiched between the final major of the year and the return of Olympic golf for the first time in 112 years. Jim Furyk gave the Connecticut tournament plenty of buzz by becoming the first player to shoot 58 in PGA Tour history, even if he finished before television came on.
