Former US Open winner Jim Furyk is the only golfer to have finished with 58 strokes on the PGA Tour at the 2016 Travelers Championship.
German Stephan Jaeger also signed 58 on the Web.com Tour, second category, while Ryo Ishikawa, in 2010, and Kim Seong-hyeon, earlier this year, did so on the Japan Golf Tour.
