Only 12 golfers in PGA Tour history have shot better scores than what Rickie Fowler did Saturday.
He carded an 10-under 60 on Saturday during the third round of the 2023 Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut. He made an eagle on the par-4 sixth, his 15th hole of the day, and proceeded to birdie the No. 8 to reach 60. He had a chip from the fringe on his final hole of the day for 59 but narrowly missed.
Fowler was looking to be the first player since Scottie Scheffler in the 2020 Northern Trust to shoot 59 in a PGA Tour event. Jim Furyk shot 12 under at TPC River Highlands in 2016 for the only 58 in Tour history.
During the first round, Denny McCarthy shot 60, so Fowler isn’t the first one to reach that milestone this week.

Fowler started his round on the back nine and picked up birdies at Nos. 12, 13, 15, 17 and 18, turning in 5-under 30. He also birdies Nos. 1 and 2 to sit at 7 under after 11. He rattled off three straight pars before the eagle and birdie to shoot 60, his best round on the PGA Tour.
Fowler moved to 15 under overall, good for a tie for third, with the leaders still having most of the back nine to play.
