Northern Irish world No 3 McIlroy, who missed the cut at the US Open last week, found four bogeys over the back nine to fall into a share of 69th place, just one shot above the projected cut line.
Former world number one Spieth missed a couple of short putts in a round marred by two dropped shots at the par-five 13th where his drive sailed out-of-bounds, but he also had his high moments, including a 35-foot birdie at the third. Jason Day shot 72. This is the Utahan's sixth Travelers with two prior cashes and one finish inside the top 70, a T11 previous year (68-69-65-69). He also had four birdies and a bogey to reach 8 under.

U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka isn't in CT this week, but former Florida State teammate Chase Seiffert is in contention.
"A golf course like this, even when the wind is blowing, if you're hitting your tee shots straight, you're going to have some wedges into the greens", Reed said. The big thing was trying to get a birdie coming in, just to finish the day off of how I felt like I was playing all day, which was pretty solid.
