Scottie Scheffler stood on the 18th green of the Travelers Championship and missed a 25‑foot birdie putt, finishing with a 10‑under 60. The round kept him just short of joining Jim Furyk as the only players with two sub‑60 scores in PGA Tour history. Scheffler led at 16 under, two strokes ahead of Viktor Hovland, as the field battled on TPC River Highlands as scores fell.

Scheffler posted his earlier 59 during the 2020 Northern Trust, another soft‑course tournament. Furyk logged a 59 at the 2013 BMW Championship and a record‑tying 58 at the Travelers in 2016, yet neither secured a victory. Dustin Johnson was 11‑under through eleven holes before finishing with a 60, underscoring the day’s low‑scoring vibe, highlighting the rarity of sub‑60 feats.

Coming off a tie for fourth at the US Open and a win at The American Express in January, Scheffler entered the final regular‑season event with momentum. A 60 keeps him atop the leaderboard but leaves the title open as contenders finish. His performance cements his status as a leading contender for the season‑ending FedExCup race and positions him strongly for the upcoming playoffs.
