Mackenzie Hughes will start off the 1st tee at 1.40pm today with Sam Ryder and Fabian Gomez, his playing partners from yesterday when he posted that career best -10 60 after leaving a 45 footer short by 4 feet on the 18th to become the 12th player to shoot 59. He leads this Travelers Championship by 3 shots..
Jim Furyk fired a 58 at TPC River Highlands four years ago. " I kinda joked walking off there that 59 wasn't even the record because of Jim's 58. It's probably not even that special around here. But as a personal milestone it would have been neat." said Hughes.
Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland all had -7 63. As I mentioned yesterday the morning wave had calm conditions so scoring was very low.
106 players broke par 70 with the record being 111 in 2011.
Canadians: Roger Sloan -3 67, David Hearn +2 72, Corey Connors +3 73.
Notables: Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen all -4 66, Bryson DeChambeau -5 65, Dustin Johnson -1 69, Jordan Spieth -3 67.
The cut is projected at -2. For live scoring click on my link above.

Here's hoping he can stitch together two more solid rounds on the weekend... and see where that leaves him in the end.
