Scheffler Shoots 60 to Lead Travelers Championship

Scottie Scheffler fired a 10-under 60 on Friday afternoon to take the solo lead at the Travelers Championship, the PGA Tour's final signature event. Scheffler recorded 11 birdies and one bogey. He had a chance to shoot 59 for the second time in his career but finished one stroke short of that mark.

"I'd say in golf the line is always pretty fine," Scheffler said after the round. "I'm sure if you looked at today's round versus yesterday's round, it's probably pretty similar from a ball-striking perspective. " "Some days they're kind of hanging on the edge and not quite going in, and then other days they're finding the bottom of the cup," he added.

Scheffler also noted the challenge of shooting 59 at the venue. "It was kind of funny. It was like, 'Yeah, it would be cool to shoot 59, but somebody has already shot 58 here, so it's not even the course record,'" he said.

The round gave Scheffler a place in PGA Tour history. He became the first player to post every score from 59 through 79 without recording a round of 80 or higher.
