Jake Knapp shoots 15th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history
Jake Knapp joined the PGA Tour’s sub-60 club on Thursday.
Knapp, the No. 99 player in golf’s world rankings, shot a bogey-free 59 in the opening round of the Cognizant Classic at PGA National, the 15th time that someone has broken 60 in a PGA Tour event.
He missed an eagle opportunity at No. 18 that would have tied the tour scoring record of 58, done by Jim Furyk in the final round of the 2016 Travelers Championship.
Knapp rolled in the birdie putt to become the 14th player to shoot a sub-60 round; it has been done 15 times, with Furyk carding such a round twice.
