Patrick Cantlay Sets PGA Tour Amateur Scoring Record at Travelers Championship

The Travelers Championship, held at TPC River Highlands, is renowned for its large crowds and low scoring, with a history of record-breaking performances. In 2011, 19-year-old amateur Patrick Cantlay set a memorable record by shooting a 60 in the second round, the lowest round ever by an amateur on the PGA Tour, featuring no bogeys, an eagle, and eight birdies. This record round helped Cantlay take the lead and remains a significant milestone in the tournament's history. The Travelers Championship has also been the stage for dramatic victories, such as Jordan Spieth's 2017 playoff win, which marked his tenth PGA Tour victory and equaled Tiger Woods' record at a young age. Despite Spieth's early success, he has struggled to maintain top form in recent years. The tournament is a key event on the PGA Tour calendar, attracting over 250,000 spectators annually and known for its competitive fields and memorable moments.
