Golf pro Justin Young achieved an impressive feat on Wednesday, shooting a 59 in the first round of the Puerto Rico Open. This remarkable score, the lowest in four years on the PGA Tour, has earned him the outright lead.
Young, a four-time tour winner, started his round with a birdie on the first hole and didn’t slow down, carding nine more birdies and an eagle. He made par on just six holes, solidifying his lead with an 11-under effort.
Young’s exceptional performance has set a new record for the lowest score on the PGA Tour since Jim Furyk’s 58 at the Travelers Championship in 2016. His success highlights the skill and precision required in professional golf, where a single stroke can make a significant difference.
