CROMWELL, Conn. – Mackenzie Hughes shot a career-low 60 Thursday to take the early lead at the Travelers Championship as the PGA Tour tried to switch its focus back to golf amid growing concerns about the coronavirus.Hughes, a 29-year-old Canadian, had a chance to shoot the 12th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history, but his 40-foot birdie attempt on his final hole came up short.
Jim Furyk shot a 12-under 58 on the same par-70 TPC River Highlands course four years ago, the lowest score in a tour event.“I kind of joked walking off there that 59 wasn't even the record because of Jim's 58,” Hughes said. “It's probably not even that special around here.
