Jim Furyk turned in a historic day. Jerry Kelly made things interesting.

None of it was enough to stop Russell Knox from tossing his hat and winning the 2016 Travelers Championship on Sunday.

Knox made a 12-foot par putt on No. 18 to finish at 14 under overall, one stroke ahead of the hard-charging Kelly. Knock shot a two-under 68 on the day, overcoming a bogey on No. 16 and a field full of guys determined to go low and knock him off.
