He might be the only player to do it with a bogey on #1, but IIRC, only 4/10 of the 59's (or maybe all sub-60 rounds so including the 58) have been bogey free. What is also impressive is that he made par on 2 & 3, so he went -12 for 15 holes after that point.
Billy Horschel seems like he’d be a lot of fun to have in a group of players. Every video I’ve seen him in, he’s super supportive of other players’ success. Seems like he’s a competitor for sure but still has lots of fun playing golf!
made 2 sloppy mistakes so you right could have been 57 but the hole out and some of the long puts could have laso missed, even when Jim shot 58 he left 2-3 out there for perfect round
I love hearing Horschel throughout these clips. Even though Horschel can have a bit of a temper sometimes, he does seem to be a pretty positive and encouraging guy with other players. Even when he does get his temper up, it seems he directs his frustration at himself rather than pointing it outward at his caddie or others (unlike some players on the tour).
Though 59 is amazing, imagine what could've been..the dude bogeyed the first hole, was even par after four; missed a very short putt on the 17th, but made a pressure pack putt on the 18th for a 59..glad he did it, one of the nicest fella on the PGA//
A really tradesman like round. It's interest to see how easy it can get for good players to put a great rounds together when they take advantage of their lucky breaks. Amazingly, the round had a boggy in it.
If that was all 59 shots, then you might want to put an asterisk beside his name in the record books because he apparently didn't hit a tee shot on #12, no putts at all on #15, and no 2nd putt on 17. I guess maybe he just didn't wanna tee off on #12 so he just dropped it on the green, then maybe didn't feel like putting that short one on #17 so they called it a gimme. Anything can happen. Anyway, I guess it can be overlooked because he apparently putted out twice on two of the holes. Seriously, who thinks this stuff up and doesn't think anyone is gonna call them out for their inaccurate descriptions?
Jeremy Morris and do you feel better now? The pga tour showing coverage for free is going to be showing better coverage because some dbag told them off?
I could ask the same of you. Do you feel better for posting that asinine comment? I see you didn't refute anything I said because it was all true. Bottom line, the PGA Tour posted a misleading title and description with their video. Doesn't take a PhD to figure that out.
I agree with you that the title is misleading. A better title would have been almost every shot of his round. Or virtually every shot of his round with possible errors. But that kind of seems stupid dont you think? . What would be better is to not take every youtube videos title so seriously that you hold them to some weird oath of journalistic integrity. And stop taking yourself so seriously that you feel the need to call out someone giving you free stuff in a goofy narcissistic way.
If someone walked up to me on the street and handed me $10 and said, "Here ya go, have $100 on me!", I'd still look at them like they were goofy and tell them that it was only $10. You know, after I put it in my pocket.
Well after the dew laden 9 hole start, the back nine was just superb and could have been a 26 / 58. Not a Brandt fan but, top-Snedeker-tastic round. well done Brandt. 👍🏻
There have been 10 rounds of 59 in PGA tour history. 6 of them teed off on the back 9 (Geiberger, Snedeker, Thomas, Furyk, Chappell, Beck). I reckon that the reason is the psychology of "starting again" on the first tee taking the pressure off (a bit).
Half the guys tee off on number 10. 6 out of 10 isnt a mathematical anamoly. It fits well within the range of normal for a sample size if 10. If there were 100 rounds of 59, and 80 of them teed off the back, then you might have a point.
jarryjohnny, Really!? You didn't notice the double ups? 1:45 > 2:01 is the same footage as 2:02 > 2:18, and there is another double up again later in the vid. These kind of mistakes should never happen, unless the editor is new and no one is checking their work.
I played my local Sunday comp with a tour pro the other week. He hit every green in reg and then he'd come and help me look for my ball each time. Such a champ he must have hated it.
I watch this video like once a month. Just to remind me that I can shoot 59 at my home course even with a bogey on the first LOL. That hole out Eagle did help him a ton. all things considered he just threw darts on his 2nd 9
Wow people only care about saying the video was trash it wasnt bad had a couple extra clips but it happens by mistake....that round of golf was a beauty to watch to come up huge after a bogey on first hole
Wow, what a round. Amazing he shot -4 on the front when his ball striking was pretty shakey, but made a lot of long putts. Back 9 he was on firing on all cylinders, ball striking and putting.
Anyone else notice the way he lifts his right thumb as he starts his backswing? Never seen anyone do that curious as to what he is trying to achieve with that because it was obviously working.
hey - is the "history has been made" from the 59 or the 27? Isn't Furyk's 58 the historical round? Obviously impressive either way, just trying to clarify.
You'd normally think a 59 has to be perfect AND some bonuses. He was +1 through 3, didn't eagle either par 5 and missed a 6 footer on 17. The jarred 7 iron was a bonus, but man, crazy round.
Wow..!!! I am amazed by these people who don't seem to be affected by bad shots. I am ok till I make bad shots. Then I spiral down. Mental toughness on display here..!!
Hey PGA TOUR... You reading the comments on this video? Lots of free and good advice on how to improve this channel in there. A clue as to what you should be looking for? Hmmm, well it all has to do with more videos like this. Oh, you figured it out? You'll post more like this in the future? Awesome! Ok, i'm glad we've had this talk.
When he started with a dodgy bogey I thought how can this be a 59? And he missed a couple of makeable puts too, could've been a 57!, unbelievable golf, his swing is so calm just now, lovely to watch.
01:00 ...and at that point, who saw a 59 coming? So he's 72 yards out on his second shot on the second hole... WAIT WAIT WAIT I didn't see that graphic at the top left 01:28... 492? That's a 492 yard Par4 and he's 72 yards out?!!!!!!! Oh, I see why people are bitching about the editing. He's *272* yards out. Maybe even 172. Not 72. Playing some kind of 5 hybrid. and once again another 499 yd par4...03:53... man, that sounds like a serious setup, what next a 325 par3?
brandt face when he saw that early tee time, 😋 no tiger crowd, cool weather, soft greens, former event winner, know the track, 30th in points (dam good season) annnnd, a nice unique hand thingy preshot. welcome to the "59" club, seems a lot of unorthodox people in that club. now everyone trying that thumb off trick 😂😂😂😂😂
Robert Davis .... cool, and yessss, I was in my garage trying it, lol. it reliefs some serious tension in the hands, but that would take serious practice to groove it, because you definitely can feel loss of control in the take away, but it loads up well and brings some speed to the ball
I don’t notice it. I just do it. It’s not something I think about. I’m a feel player (0 handicap) and to me it feels weird if I leave my hands on the grip too long without moving my hands. I think it’s from powerlifting
Robert Davis ... sounds like you actually have better fingers than hands lol... I'm a hand guy, jumbo grips and all just to feel it in my hands, when I tried that thumb off, I could definitely tell it's a finger action. nice cap' ... O and that thumb action definitely has to be done with a good swing.
