59 watch. Again. How do these guys manage it? Each week we see tour golfers shooting mid-to-low 60s, with a round in the high 60s seeming to be a disappointment for some. It’s incredible to think that these scores are the norm as us mere mortals struggle to get it around 18 holes without running out of golf balls, let alone carding a sub-70 round with such regularity. Last week it was Ted Potter Jr’s turn to flirt with a 59. Starting on the back nine, the American was seven under through his opening seven holes and stood on the 16th tee 11-under-par for the day. All cameras were pointing in his direction, needing just one birdie on his final three holes to shoot the magic number but, unfortunately, he came up agonisingly short with two bogeys to sign for a 62.
Tiger returns to Riviera.. Don’t forget this weekend with all that is going on to follow the continued return of Tiger in Los Angeles at Riviera. This is a tournament that he has not played in for quite a while, but was also his debut on the PGA tour as a 16 year old amateur in 1992. He only failed to come through open qualifying for the tournament a year earlier as a 14 year old. Will he continue to impress or will he flop? Like him or loath him we all want to know and so does the golf world. |
