Bagpuss Macfarlan Are you under the impression that there’s a camera crew following every single golfer in the tournament? Or a camera set on every single hole? Because guess what there isn’t, he teed off early on Sunday was not a contender and wasn’t on television at all until after the incredible front nine they started following him in case he made history, which he did. so be grateful and shut up.
just because his swing is different, doesn't mean it isn't pretty. I enjoy watching his swing, it's actually awesome imo. Most everybody else's swing looks boring to watch
Consistent in hitting fairways and giving himself opportunities yes, does he always make the most of them? No. No one does. Zach Johnson being consistent shooting 70 or 71 is a disappointment to him a lot of the time I'm sure. No one is super consistent the most consistent player ever was Tiger. Had the longest consecutive tournament without a missed cut record, a win record that was outrageous (like 40% against a hundred other people?!?!) And he didn't play even close to the same as these guys consistency is an odd thing to try and pinpoint in this game. Tiger has all the records to show he is consistent but he hits more shots bad than most people on tour doing it outside of 2000-2003.
I was there that day, my wife won tickets on the radio it was my first pga tour event and he goes and does something like this....58 really?! It was an honor to watch that back nine Jim!
You know, I'd never seen this round till just now (though I'd heard about it of course) but he made some unbelievable long putts and barely misses a few others. He almost shot 55 or 56. What a stellar round of golf.
Crazy that that 58 had a lip out from 6 feet and a almost straight 10 footer he missed. Furyk is the only player with 2 sub 60 rounds on tour. And his 59 had a bogey in it!
I played the Florida mini-tours in the early 90s, and also earned a spot in the '93 PGA tour qualifying school. I shot 58 in a practice round. It was truly amazing. I got a spiritual/mental feeling with the putter that day, that I never got again. My technique was perfect, and my stroke was so smooth and balanced. I made 2 eagles and 8 birdies. I never putted like that again. It was a very interesting once in a lifetime experience. Furyk was so great to shoot 58 on tour. He will greatly enjoy that the rest of his life.
Best I have ever done is shoot 6 under for 12 holes. Had to walk in then because of the rain. Playing off scratch at the time! Bloody rain! Hard track too!
I had the pleasure of walking Colonial with Mr. Furyk, years back,while being a caddy for an AM during pro/am. One of the nicest guys on the tour for sure.
On one accasion I shot 17 under my 27 handicap and felt mentally, that I could have done anything on the course that day, playing many levels above my capability. Jim has shown too, how much the game is "mental", by literally having the ball on a string and playing "outside himself". We golfers all experience this at one stage and it is fascinating as to why this appears not to repeat itself on the next immediate game. Unless your name is Tiger.
What an incredible day for Jim & golf! It’s so crazy to think he truly could have shot a 56 or 57 heck even a 55. Just mind boggling. I’ll always remember watching this round unfold!
Everybody should aspire to play like this man. We might not get the same results but it's a thing of beauty watching this man hit the fairway and attack the pin. Simple and effective.
i was in the same graduating high school class...i tried out for the high school golf team and he was shooting 6 under par at Lancaster Country Club back then! he is a great guy and glad he got the record. Go Jim from Mary "Moose"!
Here's the deal. Furyk shot a 12 under par 58 on a par 70 course. Awesome. Some here say not awesome because a few others have gone 13 under on a par 72 course. Ok. Let's just say the course designers hypothetically said two of those par 4's Were really difficult enough to be par 5's and then the PGA suits made them par 5's. Now they tell Furyk, hey, those two birdies you made were really eagles and you really shot a 14 under 58. Furyk without changing anything he did just became awesome to those that thought 12 under was not. Case closed.
Funnily enough this is the only pga tour event I’ve ever been to. Wish I had started following him earlier in the day but watched his back nine. Front nine was even more incredible. Wish there was footage
The real story is that the guy keeping score for Kim Jong Il didn't know how to keep score, and wrote down pars as a 1, bogeys as a 2, and doubles as a 3 (no joke).
I shot a 56 on a Sony playstation, on the TPC Scottsdale, playing against a good friend of mine. I used to never stop the shots, a full go on everything, and figured the aiming math out, which is still a key on golf games. The hand-eye coordination isn't what it once was, and my scores are reflective of that reality.
As a 12 handicapper once I shot 34 front nine and 42 back nine. That front nine was incredible, nothing went wrong, putts were just going in from every angle. It felt euphoric.
I was in attendance this day in Cromwell Connecticut and between the few holes I followed him on and the video Ive seen this round absolutely could an maybe should have been a 55-56. More so than a 60 thats for sure. He would say he left 2 shots out there that day, both with the short stick.
With the dedication, training, equipment and better course surfaces these days, and just the amount of people who play golf now, I'm surprised we don't see it more often now. Amazing to think that Johnny Miller in the 1970s still stands as one of the most consistent low 60s scorers ever.
It just proves how mental the game is. You can have the perfect swing, best equipment, hit it the longest etc., but if you aren’t 100% locked in mentally you will let something slip, guaranteed.
All these jackasses saying it's only a par 70 it's not that impressive, if it's that easy why hasn't anyone else even broke 60 on a par 70, give the man his due, congrats
@@Dreama40 13 under on a par 72 is less impressive than 12 under on a 70... you have 2 less par 5s to eagle or as the pros see it almost automatic birdies when you're playing that hot in a round...

Totally agree with 3rdGorilla - yes, I know we saw less of the "lucky" stuff, but it looked like fate could have dealt of 55 or 56 which would have blown peoples' minds. Definitely deserved by one of the most below-the-big-radar players in history. I mean that with the utmost respect. *Everyone* who is anyone knows how much game Furyk has.
The key for these guys to shooting scores like this is just repetition of swing when they get zoned in on yardages relative to the conditions of the round (wind, temp, green firmness etc). The fact that Furyk has one of the most unique and least textbook swings in the history of the game and was able to do this as good as anyone has ever done it on tour is simply awesome.
I mean out of all the achievements in golf, a 58? 58!! And he lipped out on a couple putts? Jim will have this bit of history for a very long time and deservedly so which I hope leads to people exploring his game and career 50 years from now. A fantastic golfer and always class act.
Yep, one of the greatest golfers, happy to share the name! 'tis the reason why I chose to watch him in particular as a kid lol, made the right choice cuz the guy ends up winning the Fed Ex Cup and player of the year a few years later XD lol

Shoots the first ever 58 on tour and the highlights are full of the holes he DIDNT birdie...,
Er, there will be no coverage of him early as he only just made the cut and started at plus 1
Mostly cus the highlights were the pars cus he made so many birdies
ah, makes sense, because I didn't understand why they didn't show the front nine 27
And no Scorecard
They showed many birdies

No. You clearly didn't know. Otherwise you wouldn't have tried to correct him.
The other record I forgot about was that Furyk is now the first golfer ever to card two rounds under 60. Greatness
Yup, people forget that. 58 is an Amazing round.
Look at mo norman...
That's what can happen when you don't miss fairways and greens, and you can putt.
how many majors tho? yeah
two rounds at a major?
Whats even more scary is that he left a few shots out there.
59 likes!
he could have shot 56 or 55 if a few putts went in.. crazy
He could have shot 50 if he had done some HIO to..
yeah we all saw that...
What does HIO mean?
hole in one.
i'm guessing HIO is "hole in one"?
Always good to see only the worst shots of the best round in PGA history...

I shot a 58 last week...big deal.
But then I had to play the back 9 also.
wkend golfer, yes I had games like that shooting 58s then realised there was still nine holes to play

-Don Adams
I'm dying laughing 🤣🤣👍👍
Should have really shown the highlights from the Front 9... 27 at the turn is incredible
Agree, 8 under par first 9 and they barely showcase it..
They wouldn't have had the cameras going that early on a Sunday which is a shame.
The only problem was the he had teed off so early the cameras men hadn't even reported to work yet. LOL.
They had no reason to follow him until he was on that huge birdie run. It took everyone by surprise.
Crazy that that 58 had a lip out from 6 feet and a almost straight 10 footer he missed. Furyk is the only player with 2 sub 60 rounds on tour. And his 59 had a bogey in it!

his swing is so amazing. very aesthetic to watch
Went to high school with Jim, a humble sweet guy who deserved all his success.

This is proof that good approach shots beats long drives. This guy was very consistent with his approach shots.
That was a joy to watch. And with a swing to make anyone feel like their swing is good enough.
I always figured if someone shot a 58 they'd have one hole in one. If Furyk had luck on his side 100% he'd have shot a 55 which is insane to think of.
Me: “I bet you can’t break 60.”
Jim: “I can do it with one eye closed.”

Kept going despite the unlucky putts and bounces. A true champion
Can you hit a FIR rick
58. WOW...HE IS THE MAN .CONGRATS. JIM....
58 is amazing and is even better than a 60 on a par 72 because there are 2 less par 5’s to play which are normally the easiest birdie holes
