SPORTS 22.06.2024

Cameron Young became the 12th player in US PGA Tour history to break 60 for a round, holing out for two eagles Saturday to fire an 11-under par 59 at the Travelers Championship.

Text size:

The 27-year-old American grabbed a share of the lead in the third round at 13-under 197 at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Others on 13-under included top--ranked Scottie Scheffler, second-ranked Xander Schauffele, fellow American Akshay Bhatia and South Korea's Tom Kim.

Young, runner-up at the 2022 British Open, had seven birdies as well as two eagles to match the second-best round in PGA history.

The only 58 in PGA history was fired by fellow American Jim Furyk at the final round of the Travelers in 2016.

Young's round was the PGA Tour's first 59 since current world number one Scottie Scheffler shot 59 at TPC Boston in the 2020 St. Jude Championship.

Young, who began the day in a share of 43rd, seeks his first PGA victory.
