Cameron Young will be coming to Detroit for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic in a few days after a historic round.

Young, top-ranked player in next week's PGA Tour stop at the Detroit Golf Club, carded the 13th-ever sub-60 round on the PGA Tour, posting an 11-under-par 59 on Saturday in the third round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut at TPC River Highlands. He's the 12th player to shoot 59 or better on Tour after making seven birdies and two eagles.

It's the lowest round on Tour in almost four years.

Jim Furyk shot a 12-under 58 in 2016 at the Travelers Championship, the lowest round ever on the PGA Tour.

Young only hit six of 14 fairways, but stuck 15 greens in regulation, was 3-for-3 scrambling and made an astounding 115 feet, 11 inches worth of putts on just 24 putts, according to the Tour.

Young started the day tied for 43rd at 2 under par, but finished the afternoon as the co-leader with Tom Kim — who had yet to tee off — at 13-under. (Kim, the No. 26 player in the world, is also in the 156-player field for the Rocket Mortgage Classic.)

Young went 4-under 31 on the back nine, including an eagle on the par-4 drivable 15th, which saw his long iron bounce short of the green but run up to the front pin hole location to 4 feet.

Young, 27, missed a 7½-foot birdie on the par-3 16th, but birdied the par-4 17th from 5½ feet after sticking an iron shot over the water from 162 yards. That allowed him a chance for 58 if he could birdie No. 18.

He missed the fairway and came up short of the green, but got up-and-down by rolling in a nervy, sliding 10-footer to secure 59.

"It was a little bit tricky there at the end," he said on CBS. "I feel like it would have been one of the worst 60s ever shot, given the few chances that I had kind of on the back nine. Thankful that that putt went in on 18, but I definitely really had a chance all day (to shoot 59) even though it didn't feel like it necessarily for a few holes there."

Young shot 7-under 28 on the front nine, including a hole-out eagle on No. 3 from 142 yards, as he started birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie on his first four holes.

He benefitted from a wet course from Friday's rains, which forced organizers to institute the "lift, clean and place" rule for the third round.

Young, who played with Jordan Spieth on Saturday, had posted 10 consecutive rounds of par or worse before shooting 4-under 66 on Friday after a 72 in Round 1.

Young is ranked the 23rd player in the world, but has yet to win on Tour since his debut in 2019, despite seven career runner-up finishes, including in the 2022 Open Championship to Cameron Smith. Young was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year that season.

Young finished in a tie for second in the 2022 Rocket Mortgage Classic, five strokes behind winner Tony Finau.

Young will have a chance to get his first win Sunday in Connecticut, before coming west to Detroit ahead of Thursday's first round for his 69th career start on Tour.
