Insane is that he'll finish 48th.

Sure, but with a new record.

I looked at his score card and he one par on the front and the rest birdies. His back 9 was one birdie and the rest pars. Quite an achievement on the front.

I could set a record by driving a car over the Grand Canyon at 150mph, but I'd die in the process.

Records are meaningless unless you achieve something in return.

I give him credit for shooting the lights out, but when he's 48th on sunday, we'll talk.

I don't care if he finishes dead last....Thats the best nine holes ever. It doesn't take away from his achievment.

Name the guy with the best ever 9 holes score in a PGA tournament:

Corey Pavin

Name the guy that won the tournament:

(remains to be seen)

Either way, they're both just trivia answers now. If they guy shot a 59 and won the tournament, I'd be impressed. Can I shoot 26 on 9? No, probably not. But I bet alot of these guys have shot very close to it.

Gotta' smell what the Rock is cookin' on this one. A round of golf is 18 holes. Keeping track of 9-hole records is just spankin' the monkey.

Wow, everyone is grouchy. It's an impressive record. Sure, he won't win, but no one else has ever done that, so why not give the guy a little credit.

I'd like to beat 50 on the front 9

Naw, that's just Rock. His sheep is on the rag this week.

The touring pros are all so good at ballstriking, that an exceptional round like this comes down to having exceptional touch that day. Your finesse wedges are on, your chips are on, and above all, your putter is red hot.

I had that feeling once, but it only lasted one hole.

Would you like a nice cold drink with that crow?

Nope. 0 top 10's in 2006 and 5 top 25's in 16 events makes me think otherwise.

Good on him for what he's done so far in this tournament.

Let's talk in two years and you tell me who won the US Bank Championship. Exactly. But you'd be able to tell me who won the British Open...

No, but the last 16+ tournaments made me think otherwise, originally.

He hit some weak shots during round 3 but even though as a character i have never really liked pavin, i hope he wins because it will prove that brains do beat brawn every so often!!!

[slicerdude]

That could be my first three holes,lol, he may not have a chance at the win, but you got to admire 26, and to watch it unfold would have been good.
