Xander Schauffele shot a course-record 10-under 62 on Thursday to seize the first-round lead at the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn.
Schauffele matched the major championship record for the lowest opening round at the 2018 Masters Tournament. He carded an eagle, nine birdies and just one bogey on the par-70 TPC River Highlands layout. Only one player has ever shot a sub-60 round on the PGA Tour — Rhein Gibson, who posted a 59 in the final round of the 2012 Puerto Rico Open.
Schauffele, 28, birdied the par-4 18th hole to cap his round. He leads by three shots over five players: J.T. Poston, Kramer Hickok, Cameron Young, Hank Lebioda and Martin Trainer. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 2 Rory McIlroy both shot 68.

After lunch, it’s time for a Pro-Am event, where she interacts with fans and sponsors. In the evening, it’s back home for dinner with her daughter and husband, followed by a workout and a little downtime before bed. While it’s a demanding schedule, Lincicome loves being able to pursue her passion while also being there for her family. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s also so rewarding,” she says. “I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

**Royal Troon’s 6th Hole to Set Open Distance Mark**
The iconic 6th hole at Royal Troon is set to become the longest par-3 in Open Championship history, measuring 236 yards from tee to green. The hole, known as the “Postage Stamp,” is situated on a narrow spit of land and has been a formidable challenge for golfers throughout the years.
The decision to lengthen the hole was made to provide a stiffer test for the players and to ensure that only the most accurate shots are rewarded. The new distance will require players to hit a precise tee shot to find the putting surface and avoid the treacherous bunkers that guard the green.
Royal Troon has hosted the Open Championship nine times, and the 6th hole has played a pivotal role in many memorable moments. In 2004, Todd Hamilton holed out from the tee for a stunning birdie, while in 1973, Tom Weiskopf found himself in the infamous “Barry Burn” after hitting his tee shot short.
The new distance of the 6th hole is sure to add another chapter to the rich history of this iconic course.
Phil Mickelson recently shared how he helped a LIV Golf pro reframe his thinking, leading to a win. The pro was struggling with mental lapses, and Mickelson advised him to focus on the present moment and let go of the past. He also suggested developing a pre-shot routine to help him stay focused and calm under pressure. By implementing these strategies, the pro improved his mental game and achieved success on the course.
