(Cromwell) Cameron Young holed a putt from just under 10 feet for par to score an 11-under 59 on Saturday at the Travelers PGA Championship .
En route to the first sub-60 score in almost four years on the PGA Tour, Young carded two eagles on par-4 holes.
The first came on the third hole, where he sent his ball into the cup with a fairway wedge, a shot from 142 yards. Then, on the 15th hole, from a distance of 280 yards, he lodged his tee shot less than four feet from the objective before making his short putt.
This is the 13th score below 60 since Al Geiberger’s first at the Memphis Classic in 1977. Scottie Scheffler was the last golfer to achieve such a feat on the TPC Boston course during The Northern Trust tournament. , in 2020.
However, Young will not earn the distinction of setting the highest score in TPC River Highlands history. In 2016, Jim Furyk scored a 58 at the Travelers Championship, the lowest score in PGA history.
Another unusual fact: Jordan Spieth became the first golfer in PGA history to be part of a group where one of the players shot 59.
Spieth was alongside Justin Thomas when he pulled off such a feat in the opening round of the Sony Open in 2017.
