Three golfers score 59s in eight days on PGA Tour

In an unprecedented run, three golfers achieved a score of 59 in PGA Tour-sanctioned events over the past eight days. Scott Stevens shot an 11-under 59 at the Osprey Valley Open on July 24, followed by Michael Kim's 12-under performance at the 3M Open, and Chris Francoeur's 11-under showing at the Utah Championship. This surge in scoring highlights a significant increase in sub-60 rounds compared to past seasons, where only three were recorded across two years. Francoeur, currently ranked 583rd and a Korn Ferry Tour rookie, secured his 59 in the Utah Championship's second round, placing him three shots ahead of his nearest competitors. Following this impressive feat, he expressed the pressure of aiming for a sub-60 score while maintaining focus on his game.
