Cameron Young charged into contention at the Travelers Championship after carding a historic ’59 round’ during day three in Connecticut.

Young carded two eagles and seven birdies on his way to a bogey-free 59 at TPC River Highlands, just the 13th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history and the first since Scottie Scheffler’s total during the second round of the Northern Trust in 2020.

Heading into the weekend 11 strokes behind halfway leader Tom Kim, Young started his third round with back-to-back birdies and then sensationally holed out from 142 yards to eagle the par-four third.

Young rolled in from 20 feet at the fourth and then ended a run of pars by going inches away from a hole-in-one at the par-three eighth, leaving a tap-in birdie to go six under for his round.

The world No 23 added another birdie at the ninth to close a front-nine 28, then took advantage of the par-five 13th and left himself a close-range eagle after a stunning tee shot at the driveable par-four 15th.

A further birdie at the 17th left Young requiring a final-hole birdie to equal the lowest round in PGA Tour history, eight years on from Jim Furyk’s ’58 round’ at the same event, although he missed the fairway off the final tee and had to hole from 10 feet to save par.
