At 46 years old, Jim Furyk just did something that had never been done before on the PGA Tour.

58 on PGA Tour: 1 round in approx. 1.5M
MLB perfect games: 23 in approx. 215,000
MLB 20K games by pitcher: 4 in approx. 215,000— Justin Ray (@JustinRayGolf) August 7, 2016
Translation: very impressive.
Despite his 12-under-par round, Furyk would need a miracle to actually win the Travelers at 11 under. When Furyk finished his round, he was four shots back of leader Daniel Berger, who’s tee time isn’t until 2 p.m. ET.
But the story of this Sunday will be Furyk, no matter the winner.
