Scottie Scheffler came within inches of joining one of golf's most exclusive clubs Friday afternoon at the Travelers Championship, firing a blistering 10-under 60 during second-round play at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.
The world's top-ranked golfer stood over a 25-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that would have secured a sub-60 round, one of the rarest achievements in professional golf. The putt slid past the cup, leaving Scheffler with a still-remarkable 60 that positions him strongly heading into the weekend at the PGA Tour event.
Breaking 60 in a PGA Tour round remains an extraordinary feat, accomplished only a handful of times in the tour's history. The score represents a level of precision and consistency that few players ever achieve, requiring near-flawless execution across all facets of the game.
Scheffler's performance at TPC River Highlands demonstrates the dominant form that has characterized his season. The 60 ties for one of the lowest rounds of his professional career and underscores why he maintains his position atop the world rankings.
The Travelers Championship continues through the weekend in Cromwell, with Scheffler now positioned as a strong contender for the title following his exceptional second-round showing. His performance has energized the tournament and set the stage for compelling competition in the rounds ahead.
