Let's take a look at some other reactions on X:

"It’s unbelievable how he’s just bombing and gauging this place. He hit five fairways yesterday and shot 59," one user posted.
"D**n....that's a nice little birdie train," another fan wrote.
"Back-to-back sub 60 watch," another user said.

Reviewing Cameron Young's first three rounds at the Travelers Championship

Cameron Young began his performance at the Travelers Championship by playing the first round for a score of 2 over, with one birdie and three bogeys. A day later, he carded five birdies and one bogey to set his score at 2 under after 36 holes.

Young was in the thick part of the leaderboard going into the third round. However, that changed during the so-called "Moving Day," as he carded the best 18 holes of his PGA Tour career.

His first four holes of the third round were even better than Sunday's, as he carded three birdies and an eagle in that segment. Young then parred three straight holes and birdied the final two of the front nine.

Young continued in good stride on the back nine and parred the first three holes. He then birdied the 13th, parred the 14th and made his second eagle of the round on the 15th. He closed the day with par, birdie, and par, for a score of 11-under 59 for the round.

In this way, Young improved his all-time PGA Tour record of 62. He was also just one stroke behind the record of TPC River Highlands, home of the Travelers Championship (58, Jim Furyk, 2016).

Young has played 57 events on the main American circuit, however, he has yet to achieve his first victory at this level. His results include 53 cuts passed and 16 Top 10s, including seven second-place finishes.
