The lowest scores in relation to par over 72-holes on the PGA Tour:

31-under
• Ernie Els, 2003 Mercedes Championship, 261 total, par-73

29-under
• Joe Durant*, 2001 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, 259, par-72

Pity poor Tim Herron. He makes this list, but he didn't even win the tournament. Herron finished tied for third.
