While Tom Kim is leading the 2024 Travelers Championship with a total of 192, 18-under par, Cameron Young‘s 59 during the third round deserves equal recognition. Young is the first golfer since Scottie Scheffler in 2020 to score under 60 in a PGA Tour event, making him the 12th golfer ever to achieve a 59, making history for himself.

Meanwhile, Jim Furyk remains the only player to have shot a 58 in a round on the PGA Tour. Following Young’s impressive feat, attention quickly shifts to his equipment and what he carries in his bag that enables such remarkable shots while he aims for his first PGA Tour title.

This driver delivers maximum distance, exceptional feel, and playability. It also features Speed Ring Variable Face Thickness Technology and carries a price tag of $449 on the Titleist website.

When it comes to fairway woods, the 27-year-old uses a single Titleist TSR 2W prototype with a 13-degree loft, paired with a Mitsubishi Tensei 1K White 80 TX shaft. This club complements his driver seamlessly, providing stability and a consistent ball flight, highlighting Young’s dedication to precision and versatility in his fairway game. The TSR 2W prototype is available for purchase at a price ranging from $250 to $299.

 

For irons, he relies on three types: the Titleist T200 (3), Titleist T100 (4-5), and Titleist 631.CY Prototype (6-9), paired with MMT Utility 105 TX (3) and True Temper Dynamic Gold X7 (4-9) shafts. The Titleist T200 provides precision and control for mid-range shots, while the 631.CY prototype offers stability for mid- to long-range shots. These combinations offer an enhanced feel.
