He had the line for and speed for the 58, but didn't look like he stroked it quite right. Can't complain with tapping in for 59 though! What a round.

I don't think it was hit first time shooting a 59 though. I remember being at Tree Tops (which his instructer Rick Smith owns) and they had a car of him shooting a course record of 59 I believe. It may have been Lee Janzen though.

That clears everything up!

I didn't see it (will it be on again late night?), but it sounds like a great round for Phil. I guess he's feeling comfortable with those new clubs?

Kudos to anyone that can do that.... "Silly Season" or not.

59 for 18 holes? That's nothing! The last time I shot 59, it only took me 12 holes to do it!

The announcers said Phil's previous personal best was 61, so I don't think he had a 59 before. Tiger's supposedly shot 59 himself, but not in competitive golf. Well, competing with Mark O'Meara for $50 doesn't count.

He nearly had a 58. Seriously, a tap-in for 59. Yow.

Very funny leaguegolf.

A 59 that's great golf no matter what season.

He said on golf cental that he was lagging and just wanted to make sure of 59

I guess it's the "new" Phil we've seen this year, huh? "Old" Phil will have gone for broke and tried for the 58.

I guess so!!

Wow - I was channel hopping last night and elected not to switch to the golf - wish I had now!! That is amazing golf.

Too funny.

They said his personal best was 61. I also read in another forum that tehre are only 5 pros who have shot under 60 in competition. Truth or fiction? I can't tell you that but it does seem low. Either way, congrats to PHil for a great round.

pgatour.com says 3 pros in official PGA Tour events - Al Geiberger, Chip Beck, David Duval. Add Annika to that list (only 59 in LPGA official events).

Shigeki Maruyama shot a 58 in a US Open qualifying round.

Phil's 59 will not go into the record books as this was a silly season event.

"It was certainly unexpected. I mean, I didn't hit it great today and somehow I shot 59," Mickelson said. "So go figure."

"It was incredible," said Singh. "After about the 12th, 15th hole, we were just watching him."

"Today I didn't really feel that sharp off the tee. It was when I got on the surface, when I got on the green, boy, I was just able to see the line and get the ball to go in," said Mickelson. "It's a good feeling."
