Six people came out of the crowd and stormed the 18th green while the leaders were lining up their putts on the final hole of regulation at the Travelers Championship today, delaying the finish for about five minutes.
The people sprayed white and red powder, leaving stains on the grassbefore Scottie Scheffler, Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia finished their rounds.
After the intruders were tackled by police and taken off, Scheffler left a potential 26-foot clincher from the fringe on the right edge of the cup, then tapped in for par.

Kim, who trailed by one stroke heading into the final hole, sank a 10-foot birdie putt to tie Scheffler and send the tournament to a sudden-death playoff.
