Paul Goydos fired a 12 under par 59 today to become only the 4th golfer in history to shoot 59 in a PGA Tour event. He didn't make any eagles either. He had 4 birdies on the front and then 8 birdies on the back.
I used to actually play in a lot of tournaments with Goydos back in the 1980s on the Golden State Tour. I was never actually paired with him but he was in the group right in front of me a couple of times. He was the best amatuer out there at the time. He would always shoot around 70. I couldn't compete with him. I would usually shoot around 77.
