Cameron Young Ties for Lead with Historic 59 at Travelers Championship

Cameron Young made history by shooting an 11-under 59 during the third round of the Travelers Championship, marking just the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history. Young's impressive round included two eagles and seven birdies, tying him for the lead with Tom Kim. Despite narrowly missing the course record of 58 set by Jim Furyk in 2016, Young's performance catapulted him to 13 under par for the tournament. This achievement makes him the first player since Scottie Scheffler in 2020 to shoot sub-60 on the PGA Tour. Young's previous best score was a 62, and this round significantly boosted his standing after a series of mediocre results. The soggy conditions at TPC River Highlands allowed for lift, clean, and place rules, aiding Young's exceptional performance.
