Jim Furyk Shoots 59

[Anybodyhome]

Shot a -12 (59) to share the lead at -11. He had an uneventful +1 (72) in his first round yesterday. Golf Channel finally caught on when he was -6 thru his first 6 holes...

 

Golf Channel BMW Championship outside Chicago.

 

Fired a 28 front nine and 31 back. Stuck his approach on 18 to 3'9" for an easy birdie and a history-sharing 59. The 6th tour player to ever card a 59 in a tourney.

He wore it out... That's awesome.

And Tiger just got a 2-stroke penalty for his score on #1, which was already a double bogey 6. Now it's an 8 on #1 and his 2nd round score is a 72.

 

Seems when he hit his approach over the green into the trees on #1, he went in and while he was moving twigs around the ball, the ball moved and he didn't replace it. There was video of the ball moving and Slugger White, the PGA Tour Rules Czar gave him the news in the scoring trailer after his round. Reporters say they heard a loud thump and White would neither confirm nor deny Woods punched a wall in the scoring trailer.

I saw a note that said he's protesting the penalty.

I saw a note that said he's protesting the penalty.

 

I don't know that the PGA Tour has an appeal process for penalties assessed for rule violations. This could be a first.

 

And you know me, I'm laughing at all of this because I do not like Tiger in the least..... but I think I've made that clear here in the past. Great golfer, jerk-off person.

 

[Darth Biscuit]

Can't remember where I saw that... Golf Channel Mobile maybe? Not sure...

They said he moved an object and the ball moved.

Had he replaced it, one Stroke penalty, he didn't so its two.

You guys are worse than ESPN.

Furyk 59=Tiger talk.  :D 

 

Well done Jimmy.

[Doyle]

I hate I missed it.  I had it on and for some reason turned to the Oregon Tennessee game.  Didn't Duvall shoot a 59 once?

Duval did it in the final round of a tournament, which was pretty special.

Not really, because ESPN led off their SportsCenter coverage showing Tiger make a putt, miss a putt, miss another putt and then they showed a couple shots by then leader Snedeker before saying anything about Furyk.

 

Really? Furyk shoots a 59, Tiger shoots a 74, and ESPN leads with the +2 Tiger Woods round.

 

[teeray]

Meh. I shoot 59s all the time. And I can do it in just nine holes.

*not sure how golf works*

Well done Jimmy.

 

 

We just thought that cheating was relevant to the tourney...   :)

Most likely he's going to cheat his way to a 10 million dollar bonus this weekend.  :D

Yeah, I'd say he's got a pretty good shot at it.
