Jim Furyk has special round of golf at BMW Championships!

What a spectacular and special performance today by Jim Furyk at the BMW Championships!  It was a cool, windy day in Lake Forest, Indiana and Jim Furyk started the day at +1.  He proceeded to shoot a round of golf that has only been done by five others in the history of the game, a round of 59, 12 under on today’s round and finds himself tied at the top with Brandt Snedeker at -11.   With the conditions on the course today, the average score by the world’s best golfers was +1 and the next lowest round was 65, just to put a punctuation mark on what he accomplished today.  As many golfers remarked, as they all turned to see how he was doing and those that were finished were watching in the clubhouse…”what course is he playing”??  Truly special day for Jim Furyk, Chicago has been good to him as it is also the site where he won his only major when the 2003 US Open was played there.  Zach Johnson finished up in second at -8.  There are a bunch of players at -6, one of them was Tiger Woods, or at least so it seemed when he came off the course.  However, he was accessed a two shot penalty for a ball that moved on hole number one so Tiger will start tomorrow at -4.  I believed he will play with Sergio Garcia…hope the hatchet is indeed buried and they can just get along…fully expect them to both act like pros.

Other notables, Phil Mickelson finished up today at +2 and Rory Mcilroy at +13, in last place…not going well for Rory.

Play continues tomorrow…

P.S.  There is also a rather big football game on tomorrow as well, 3:30 pm EST from College Station, Texas.  Alabama comes to visit Texas A & M.  College Gameday will be live tomorrow morning form College Station on ESPN at 9:00 am.

See you there!
