59 - close calls this year

And you would have laid money down on Al Geiberger or Chip Beck?

fair enough, back in the years of geiberger, beck & duval they were freak events, now we've had two in less than a month with quite a few others having very good chances, there could have been 3 this week very easily (points needing to birdie a par-5 and par the last, and holmes an inch away) and then Overton had a good chance also, now something must be getting easier as there seems to me to be a hell of a lot more opportunities this year than other years, even though there has been a groove change which was supposed to make the game more difficult

It's unlikely Tiger (and even Phil) to shoot 59 in a tournament, because they usually only play the events with tougher course setups -- which makes it even more amazing that they both tend to be near the top in PGA scoring average by year's end.
