Kevin Chappell Threatens 59 at Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic
As Paul Goydos was about to enter the PGA TOUR record book at the John Deere Classic with his 59, Kevin Chappell was posting the lowest round of the year relative to par on the Nationwide Tour and threatening to break the magic 60 barrier himself at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic in Canada. Two 59s in one day would have been something. Unfortunately, the 24-year-old former NCAA champion and college player of the year out of UCLA came up a little short. He shot an 11-under-par 61, narrowly missing birdie putts on two of his last four holes. Goydos' 59 was 12 shots under par.
Starting on No. 10 tee at the Raven Golf Club at Lora Bay in Thornbury, Ontario, Canada, Chappell reeled off eight birdies in the first nine holes (all but the par-3 15th). The Fresno, Calif. native parred the first three on his incoming nine, birdied the next two, then made one more birdie on No. 8. He had no bogies on his card. Chappell had real good looks at two birdies coming in. A 5-footer on No. 6 was a "brutal lip out" according to his caddie and his 10-footer on the 9th, his final hole, hit the lip but had too much speed to go in.
The lowest 18-hole score in Nationwide Tour history is 59. There have been three -- Notah Begay III (1998), Doug Dunakey (1998) and Jason Gore (2005). Goydos' 59 joined Al Geiberger (1977), Chip Beck (1991) and David Duval (1999) in the PGA TOUR record book.
Goydos is a Nationwide Tour alumnus who played the Tour full time in 1991 and 1992, winning once, the 1992 Yuma Open, before joining the PGA TOUR in 1993.
