Made 9 birdies in a row, and just missed birdie on his last hole. Beautiful round of golf.
Kevin Chappell shoots 59 at Greenbrier
It's amazing. Haven't heard much about the guy for a couple or three years now and suddenly he shoots a round in the 50's.
That's golf in a nutshell.
Okay, boys, let's guess the person to shoot a 59 ... Kevin Chappell?!?! Well, of course. He should obviously join the list of other greats that have shot 59, such as ... Adam Hadwin?!?! WTF is going on!
It was fun to watch, but almost boring. A lot of his birdie putts were inside 10 feet. He was so solid off the tee and I think he hit maybe 16 greens in Regulation.
Well, it was fun while it lasted anyway. Shot 59 Friday, then the game got ridiculously difficult for him again. Shot 73 Saturday, 72 Sunday, finishing -5 for the week and T47.
Same game as we all play, no doubt. Remember that day we shot a 75(basically our 59), then came back the next day, because we were 'hot', and shot the 89? Same diff. Hell, if we ever should shoot 59, we'd have to quit. Don't want no 89 the next day, as might be normal.
