From: Howard Brazee on 2 Aug 2010 08:07 This year's Tour 59s have been on par 71 & par 70 courses. I know par is just a number, and different courses have different difficulties - David Duval's 59 wasn't in a difficult course. Certainly a course that has lots of low scores makes a difference though. Are people going to asterisk these 59s?

No. The better question is why has it happened twice in the same year and Stricker damn near did it the same day Goydos did.

Personally, I would stick an asterisk beside Goydos' because it was lift, clean and place that day. Wayne

He was asked how he managed to make so many Birdie putts and with a sheepish look on his face, he said, "Come on, Guys. I was hitting it within 10' all day." I guess Mrs. Hogan was right. Heh. |
