Cameron Young shoots record-breaking 59 at Travelers Championship
First sub-60 round on PGA Tour since Scottie Scheffler's score in 2020
Young began with eagle, made 7 birdies and 2 eagles in round
Young took solo lead before second-round leaders teed off
Cameron Young makes history at the Travelers Championship by shooting a record-breaking 59 in the third round. This is the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history and the first since Scottie Scheffler's score at The Northern Trust in 2020. Young began his day strong, making an eagle on par-4 third hole after holing out with a wedge from 142 yards. He continued his impressive play, making birdies on holes 8 and 9 to turn in a score of 28. On the drivable par-4 15th hole, Young hit an epic iron shot that rolled up to the green and landed four feet from the pin, setting up a short eagle putt. With two eagles and seven birdies in his round, Young finished bogey-free at 13 under, taking the solo lead before the second-round leaders even teed off.
Young's historic round came after a solid performance in the second round where he shot a 66. The PGA Tour rookie began his third round with birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie, making it clear that he was in top form. His eagle on par-4 third hole was particularly noteworthy as it came after holing out from the fairway with a wedge. Young's impressive play continued throughout the round, adding five more birdies and an eagle on par-4 15th hole to finish with a score of 59.
The Travelers Championship has seen its fair share of low scores in recent years, but none have come close to matching Young's historic round. The previous record at TPC River Highlands was held by Jim Furyk, who shot a 58 in the same tournament back in 2016. With his impressive play and determination, Cameron Young has solidified his position as a contender for the Travelers Championship title.
