Michael Arnaud parred the par-3 eighth hole and then bogeyed the par-4 ninth. He shot 8-under 27 on the front nine, tying the Web.com Tour’s nine-hole scoring record.
Original story:
The Web.com Tour’s 18-hole scoring record is 58, shot by Stephen Jaeger in 2016. Six players have shot 59 in tour history.
Michael Arnaud may set a new standard.
The 36-year-old Texan played the first seven holes at Thornblade Club, in Round 2 of the BMW Charity Pro-Am, in 9 under par. Yes, 9 under par. Thornblade is also a par 71.
Arnaud eagled the par-5 second and par-5 fifth, and birdied the other five holes. There was a slight rain delay during the second round, but it had no effect on Arnaud.
