Jim Furyk broke golf's magic number when he shot a record 12-under-par 58 at the Travelers Championship, the lowest round ever on the PGA Tour. Furyk is the second player to card 58 on an internationally-recognised tour, joining Japanese Ryo Ishikawa, who shot 12-under 58 in the final round of the Crowns tournament on the Japan Tour in 2010. Furyk compiled one eagle and 10 birdies in the final round at River Highlands, and described it as a "wonderful day" and a completely unexpected one. Special though Furyk considers his record, he also prides himself on staying competitive for so long. Furyk, who previously was one of six players to card 59 on tour, also became the first player to break 60 twice on an internationally recognised tour on Sunday (local time).
