A fast start and a fast finish saw Cameron Young join an elusive club Saturday at TPC River Highlands. Carding an 11-under 59 in Round 3 of the 2024 Travelers, Young became just the 13th player in PGA Tour history to sign for a sub-60 round and the first since Scottie Scheffler did so at TPC Boston in 2020.

Young's 59 is the second sub-60 round to occur at TPC River Highlands as Jim Furyk fired a 12-under 58 in the 2016 Travelers Championship. TPC River Highlands is now only the second course on the PGA Tour to yield multiple rounds in the 50s joining The Old White at The Greenbrier where Stuart Appleby and Kevin Chappell both shot 59.

The former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year got off to a dream start on Saturday making a pair of birdies out the gate. His round was jump-started when his approach from the fairway on the par-4 3rd found the bottom of the cup for an eagle. When Young made another birdie on the par-4 4th, he rose to 5 under in the early stages of his round.

Despite not taking advantage of the par-5 6th, Young kept his foot on the gas with a near hole-in-one on the par-3 8th and a long-distance connection on the par-4 9th to turn in 7-under 28 — his lowest nine-hole score in his PGA Tour career.
