J.J. Spaun is back at the Travelers Championship two years after the birth of his daughter, Violet, caused him to take a last-minute flight to TPC River Highlands

CROMWELL, Conn. — This isn’t the first time J.J. Spaun has come to the Travelers Championship after a life-changing moment. Two years ago, his daughter Violet was born on a Monday and he didn’t show up to the TPC River Highlands until the night before the opening round. He might be even more wiped now. That’s what winning a U.S. Open can do.

He revealed that his daughter Violet will turn two on Thursday. As he spoke, Spaun shared the heartfelt story about his wife Melody giving birth to her, reflecting on another whirlwind week two years ago.
