Two highest rounds in PGA Tour history

I watch a buddy of mine shoot scores like that once in a while. I've considered that he plays like he got run over by a horse, but who knows.

That means there's a PGA Professional that for two rounds of his life, I would have had a chance to beat? SWEET!!

Neat story - thanks!

puttnfool No way I’d have kept playing. Amazing that he was able to be so competitive at the U.S. Open so soon after rib injuries - I think that’s where his real grit was displayed. He couldn’t have been able to practice much.

Sounds like he led a happy life and died still playing the game he loved at a high level. Thank you for sharing the link. I think the open that year may have been my first exposure to golf. I remember watching parts of it on TV and not realizing until years later how hard that year was, but I don’t remember hearing of him or his story.

Ouch, separated shoulder, ligament damage in knee and cracked ribs.

Kinda makes me feel wimpish for only playing a 2 day member/guest less than two weeks after breaking an elbow.
Played pretty well too.

Wow, good for him for seeing it through. That’s when the tour was a miserable bitch to be on, 60 spots... wow. I thought Tiger making it through with the torn up knee was impressive, it was, but this is something else.

puttnfool I agree, both are impressive nonetheless. Tiger maintaining that level of play was amazing and for somebody with a separated shoulder, broken ribs etc to even go out there is crazy. That was my line of thinking.

puttnfool Considering his career earnings, it was a way different time. These guys laid the ground work, Tiger then made the PGA what it is today. People can say what they want, but without him, there isn’t all the sponsor money there is now.
