Cameron Young’s rare performance to make PGA Tour history

The Travelers Championship has once again offered us, with the incredible performance of Cameron Young, one of the most beautiful rounds of golf in the history of the PGA Tour. The American has played the best card on the overseas circuit over the last four years, signing a card of 59 (-11).

Seven birdies, two eagles. This Saturday afternoon in Connecticut, Cameron Young will remember it for a long time. Touched by grace for 18 holes, the New Yorker flew over the course with his class and his ultra-aggressive game. TPC River Highlands to sign the best card of his career and a masterful 59 (-11).

An immense accomplishment that hung by a thread on hole number 18. In a delicate position after a drive dropped to the left, a short green attack and a medium approach, Young left himself a 3-meter putt for par (video) and a map of 59.

With his exceptional performance, the 27-year-old becomes the 13th player in the history of PGA Tour to return a card under 60, the first since Scottie Scheffler in 2020 at Nothern Trust Open.

Yes, yes Travelers Championship is a meeting marked by players to test their best offensive skills, few are able to break this legendary bar on the PGA Tour. Yet it was right here in 2016 that Jim Furyk already established the record for the lowest card on the American circuit with a 58 (-12).
