2009 Travelers Championship:
Kenny Perry shot a tournament-record 258 (22-under par) to earn his 14th career PGA TOUR victory. The 48-year-old Perry held a five-stroke lead heading into the final four holes on Sunday, but had to fend off a late charging Paul Goydos who eagled no. 15 and made birdie on the 16th. Perry then answered and put the tournament away on the 17th hole after hitting his approach shot to 8-feet and making birdie.

Other Year's Information
2008 Travelers Championship
In an exciting finish that kept fans watching and waiting right up to the final putt, Stewart Cink earned his fifth PGA TOUR victory at the 2008 Travelers Championship. Leading by one stroke as he approached the final hole, Cink drilled a 366-yard tee shot, the longest drive of the tournament's final round, right into the crowds lining the 18th hole. He recovered from the drive, made par and finished 18-under-par for the tournament. His score of 66-64-65-67-262 marked a new personal best for 72 holes.
Cink got his first PGA TOUR victory at this tournament during his rookie year in 1997, and and now joins the elite company of just five other players who had had multiple wins at Connecticut's PGA TOUR event- Billy Casper (1963, 1965, 1968, 1973), Arnold Palmer (1956, 1960), Peter Jacobsen (1984, 2003), Paul Azinger (1987, 1989) and Phil Mickelson (2001, 2002).
2007 Travelers Championship
The inaugural Travelers Championship was one for the history books, with Hunter Mahan and Jay Williamson battling each other and the challenging TPC River Highlands course for their first PGA TOUR victory. On the final hole of regulation, Williamson put his second shot about 12 feet from the hole. Not to be outdone, Mahan put his between Williamson's and the hole. Williamson two putted, while Mahan sunk the birdie to send the Championship to a sudden death playoff. In a repeat of the last hole in regulation, both Williamson and Mahan hit the fairway with their tee shots.
Williamson's second shot finished about where Mahan's was the last time they played the hole. Mahan lofted a nine-iron to within two feet and when Williamson missed the birdie putt, the Championship was Mahan's with a tap-in birdie putt.
2006 Buick Championship
Fairfield, CT native J.J. Henry lead by 2 after the third round. He also the won the AstraZeneca Charity Challenge and for his performance, AstraZeneca will donate $100,000 to the American College of Gastroenterology on behalf of Henry and the Buick Championship.
2005 Buick Championship
Brad Faxon continued the storied tradition when he tied the course record by shooting 61 on Sunday. That score put him 14 under par and into a tie with Tjaart Van der Wald. Brad birdied the first hole of the sudden death playoff to win his seventh PGA TOUR event.
2004 Buick Championship
Woody Austin calmly made a six-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to defeat Tim Herron and earn the first-place prize of $756,000 - the largest check in his nine-year PGA TOUR career.
2003 Greater Hartford Open
Peter Jacobsen shot a 3-under-par 67 on Sunday for a two-stroke win at the Greater Hartford Open, his first PGA TOUR title in eight years. Jacobsen, who also won the tournament in 1984, had a share of the lead for all four rounds and led by one stroke after 54-holes. He'll go down in the books as the winner of the final GHO, as the tournament was then renamed the Buick Championship in 2004. The final round of the final GHO drew more than 70,000 fans to the TPC at River Highlands. As Jacobsen's final putt dropped, his 21-year-old daughter Kristen ran onto the green and into his arms. She was a toddler the last time he won here. His $720,000 payday on Sunday was 10 times bigger than it was 19 years ago.
2002 Canon Greater Hartford Open
Phil Mickelson shot 66-64 on the weekend and came from five shots back on Sunday to become the first Canon GHO Champion to successfully defend his title, defeating Davis Love III and Jonathan Kaye by one stroke with a birdie on the 72nd hole. With what was arguably the best PGA TOUR field in the history of the GHO that included the likes of Mickelson, Love, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Greg Norman, and Vijay Singh, a record 323,000 spectators turned out over the course of the week.
2001 Canon Greater Hartford Open
After shooting a career-best 61 on Saturday, Phil Mickelson seals a thrilling one-shot victory on the final hole - capping a week that saw former champions Arnold Palmer and Lee Trevino and record crowds of more than 318,000 fans celebrate the Canon GHO's 50th anniversary.
2000 Canon Greater Hartford Open
Notah Begay III sinks a pressure-packed 23-foot putt on the last hole of the tournament to beat Mark Calcavecchia - and sets a new course record.
