Young Tom Shoots Record 59 at Sweet Sixteen
Young Tom Litzler had a day for the ages at the inaugural Sweet Sixteen tournament. He carded the Tour’s first 59 including a front nine 27 which is also a Tour record with him scoring 5 birdies, 2 eagles and 2 pars. 4 more birdies on the back closed with a 32. In the Sweet Sixteen format, his two worst holes were discarded which were a lone bogey and a par, giving him a 14 under par final event score. A number that may hold up for years. Young Tom beat out father Tom W who finished 2nd at 9 under par. Victor McCoy tied Ray Collins for 3rd at 7 under par.
Other notables: Young Tom also led the field with 28 putts. On a record day, David Martin hit all 14 fairways possible for the day. The first time in Tour history that has been accomplished. Jason Rectenwald hit 12 greens with Martin and Old Tom Litzler hitting 11 and Young Tom, Barb Randle, Dave LeBlanc and McCoy getting 10. This is Young Tom’s 2nd Tour win following his Memorial win with dad last month.
