Brandt Snedeker shoots 59 after bogeying his first hole at the 2018 Wyndham Championship
Brandt Snedker started his first round of the 2018 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club on the 10th hole with a drive way left off the tee, leading to a bogey. He didn’t make his first birdie until his fourth hole, actually, but from there, the flood gates were open. Snedeker birdied four holes in a row — hole nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16 — to go out in 32 (3 under).
He then SCORCHED his back nine, shooting an 8-under 27 including 6 birdies and an eagle. Certainly knowing it was for 59, Snedeker rolled in a 20-footer on his 18th hole (the course’s 9th hole). Watch the putt below.

It was by far the longest birdie putt he made on the back nine, probably because he was sticking everything to within 5 feet.
Brandt Snedeker shot 27 on his back nine. He did it with just one putt outside of 5 feet.
1: 4 feet (birdie)
2: 2 feet (birdie)
3: 5 feet (birdie)
4: 2 feet (par)
5: 2 feet (birdie)
6: 0 feet (eagle)
7: 3 feet (birdie)
8: 3 feet (par)
9: 20 feet (birdie)*

Notice the “0 feet” putt above? Yea, because he didn’t have to putt after dunking his second shot.
DUNK! ????

Where does Snedeker’s 59 stand in terms of the history books? He’s the 9th player ever to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour, and the FIRST to do so starting the round with a bogey.
Brandt Snedeker becomes the 9th player in PGA TOUR history to shoot a 59 or better and the first to do so after starting his round with a bogey.
It’s the 4th sub-60 score in the last 3 years, matching the number on TOUR in the previous 24 years. pic.twitter.com/UBiONaVMQa

Remember, even if you start with a bogey you can shoot your best round ever. Maybe not a 59 like Snedeker on Thursday of the Wyndham Championship, but don’t let that first-hole bogey get you down; there’s 17 more opportunities to make birdie — and Snedeker nearly did just that.

Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

He also destroyed the hole when he dunked it on 7. They had to cut a new hole he wrecked it so bad. I’d never seen that happen before.
