Looks like 58 is lowest for recognized competitive tourney > 6500 yards

55 for friendly round on course 6750 yards

I remember Shigeki Maruyama shot 58 in US Open sectional qualifying several years ago. And I thought there was a 58 shot on the Japanese tour since then.

Not sure about the length of those courses or whether preferred lies were used.

yup.......... the 2 rounds of 58 that are accepted as world competitive records are 1) japanese tour; 2) japanese player at US Open qualifying..

jason bohn's 58 on canadian tour was on a course just under 6500 yards - the distance minimum.

one of the 2 golf magazines a few years ago had an article that 58 on pga tour is inevitable (palm springs, deere etc.)........ i think 59 or maybe even 60 hasn't happened since its publication.

the site i saw referencing the world record said there are so many 56's and 57's shot that they don't track it any longer....... i know of a lot of local players who have broken 60 - sometimes by 2 or 3 strokes - on 6300+ yard courses

Jhonnie Vegas is -9 thru 11. Front nine 28.

Front 9 consisted of 2 eagles, one being an Ace on 17 had a stretch of 6 holes with 4 birdies and 2 eagles

So close. shot 60

Par 70

how many of the older 59's on tour were par 72? i don't actually know i.e. real question... then we had a bunch probably 6 to 10 years ago. and then slowed down again.

spenda, btw, thx.. i hadn't seen this.

not sure of very recent weather but i would have thought hayward california would be 1) too dry; 2) too windy for a score like that.

an vague of mine had the course record at stonebrae from web.com event. it was 61 i think. dustin risdon... wasn't nearly as dry back then

i loved when he made his putt for 59 that the cows in the background could have cared less... or maybe no one told them

ok, i may need my vision prescription changed....... those are no cows. but not sure what they are. kinda big for chickens? turkeys?

Furyk with a front 9 27 on a par 70.

^ Came here to post the above; you beat me to it. -8 thru 9 on a par 70 with a par-5 left to play. Round should be done quickly enough that the 5-hour energy doesn't wear off.

Just woke up. Birdies 10 and 11. Needs just -1 on final 7 for a ho- hum 59. Could be something really spectacular here.

Please change title to 54 watch

Started out the back birdie-birdie, so -10 through 11.

This is insane

Another ****ing birdie. Even par from here is a 59. Still has a reachable par 5 left.

Tough in placement on #13, but reachable. 2nd easiest hole on the course.

He's already got a 59, too

This is awesome, but the downside is he might make the Ryder Cup now.

Laid up on the par 5. WTF bro. Is this guy playing to shoot 55 or not.

about 10-15 feet coming up for birdie.

booo miss, dude obviously doesn't want 56
