By Jeremy Beale
While the sports world was captivated by Michelle Wie and World Cup soccer, Kevin Streelman was making history with a scorching hot putter.
Streelman birdied his final seven holes, shooting a back-nine 28 including birdies on his last seven holes to win the Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn.
He became the only player to birdie seven holes in a row to win on the PGA Tour, and one-putted every green over the closing nine holes on his way to a final round 64.
