Northern Trust 2020: Dustin Johnson, Scottie Scheffler Shoot 60, 59 on Friday

Far more than just the tournament lead was at stake during Friday's second round of the 2020 Northern Trust at TPC Boston in Norton, Massachusetts.

In fact, history was on the line.

PGA Tour rookie Scottie Scheffler was the first to make a run at it when he shot a 12-under 59. Nick Pietruszkiewicz of ESPN noted Scheffler, 24, became the 11th player in PGA Tour history to post a sub-60 round and the second-youngest to do so behind Justin Thomas' 2017 effort when he was 23.

However, Scheffler fell just short of Jim Furyk's record for the lowest score in a single PGA Tour round.
