On August 7, 2016, Jim Furyk shot a 58 on the PGA Tour during the final round of the Travelers Championship, held at TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Connecticut.

[4] There had been approximately 1.5 million rounds played in Tour history at the time, and no one had ever managed to shoot lower than 59.

[5][6] Just a week earlier, Stephan Jäger had shot the first round of 58 on the Korn Ferry Tour in winning the Ellie Mae Classic.

[12] He made his second birdie of the round at the fourth after hitting his approach from 206 yards to 4 feet and making the putt.

[14] Furyk was so far out of contention at the start of the day that television coverage did not pick up his round until he played the 10th hole.

[16] Needing only pars on the last two holes for the scoring record, Furyk left his approach on the par-four 17th on the upper tier of the green and was faced with a tricky downhill 44-foot putt.

At the 18th, Furyk drove into the middle of the fairway and hit his second shot 138 yards to the green, leaving him 26 feet away from the flag.

While the putt just slid past the cup to the right, he tapped in for par for the first round of 58 in PGA Tour history.

[20] By shooting 12 under par, Furyk jumped from 70th place to a tie for fifth, finishing three shots behind champion Russell Knox.
