San Diego golfer shoots 25 on front nine

[mvmac]

Kind of ridiculous stuff here , 25?!  I've never played Salt Creek but a 25 is a 25 lol  Just like most rounds of golf it ended with a "what if"

Quote:

Well, for one San Diego golfer, it's more than just a hypothetical question, because that's exactly what 20-year-old Todd Baek did on Sunday at Salt Creek Golf Club in Chula Vista, Calif.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune , Baek made three eagles, five birdies and one par en route to an 11-under-par 25 for his outward nine. But, after reaching the par-five 18th in two, he three-putted from 60 feet for par -- and a round of 60.

Baek, who played his college golf at San Diego State, still set the course record at the 6,829-yard track by two shots, and he will have plenty of momentum heading into Wednesday, when he'll play in a pre-qualifier for Q-School at PGA West.

But as for that question?

“I was more mad that I screwed up my chance to shoot 59,” Baek told the Union-Tribune.

And there you  have it. Golf: God's cure for contentment.

God's cure for contentment. I've never heard it put that way before and I couldn't agree more. What a freakin round.

Unreal...would have liked to see a picture of his score card and/or some discussion of what he did the back 9 (other than 3 putting 18).

I think he was 60 feet out and it was for a par, so not the worst choke by any stretch of the imagination...heck, I think I would be happy to have 3 jacked that for a 70.

Looks like Baek shot 73-69-66 to finish 3rd in the Q School pre-qualifier at PGA West (Norman course) and move on to stage 1.
