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.
