Carding the lowest score has been in the air in the golf world in recent days. Just a day ago, Joaquin Niemann almost broke Bryson DeChambeau‘s 2023 LIV Golf Greenbrier record of carding the lowest score in the PIF-funded league. Nonetheless, the Chilean golfer was applauded for his historically low round at LIV Golf Mayakoba.

However, on the other side of the border, another history was created, as Wyndham Clark shot another low round at the second Signature event of the PGA Tour, though it was one stroke more than Niemann’s record. Even then, it created history for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the two-time PGA Tour winner took the chance to share his thoughts on achieving such a historic feat and also made some comparisons along the way.

Wyndham Clark follows through the lowest round at Pebble Beach

After playing the third round at Pebble Beach, Wyndham Clark wrote his name in the history of the golf course. The magical Saturday round started with an even-par on hole one, and the next par-5 was eagled by the reigning U.S. Open champion. Clark followed it through with one more eagle and three birdies on the last four holes of the front nine.

The day was going in favor of the two-time PGA Tour winner, and with the weather expected to rain, Wyndham showered the rest of the holes with five more birdies as he missed the eighteenth hole eagle with a few feet and birdied the par-5. Nonetheless, the Colorado native achieved what the legends could never have.

He ended the day with 12 under 60, the lowest round played in the history of Pebble Beach. This comes a day after Joaquin Niemann shot a 59-round one at LIV Golf (the second-lowest for the league). Talking about his historical play, Wyndham took a slight jibe at Niemann’s record and said, “Even if I had shot 59 somewhere, I don’t think it would compare to shooting a score like this at one of the most historic golf courses in the world.”

The one-time major winner emphasized the rich legacy of the tournament, which makes his record all the more special. Clark further put things into perspective as he supposedly drew comparisons between his record and Niemann’s 59 at El Camaleon Golf Course. The feat was indeed astounding and gave Clark a “surreal” experience like no other.

Wyndham Clark shares his afterthoughts on the 59-round

After his 2023 U.S. Open victory, Wyndham Clark was unable to follow through with a similar achievement. In the last several months, he could not win again on the PGA Tour. But his recent feat puts him one step closer to a grand victory. In a post-match interview with Sirius XM PGA Tour radio, Clark exclaimed that “putting been a struggle for the last probably 6-7 months,” though he has been working on it.

The one-time major champ said he was waiting for his breakthrough on the greens and he eventually had it. Furthermore, he described that he had been playing statically well, and it was “nice to finally have a great day on the greens.” Clark was more than happy to achieve the record because no other golfer, not even Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, did what he managed to do.

He felt it was “pretty surreal” to do the 60 and said, “I’m very humbled to now have the course record.” Pebble Beach is arguably one of the most historical courses on the PGA Tour, and with Clark taking the lead and there being a risk of the game ending at 54 holes, this might award him his third PGA Tour win.
