We hadn't even gotten through the first few hours of the new PGA Tour season and social media already had its first #59watch courtesy of Brendan Steele.
Steele, the 32-year-old from Idyllwild, Calif., birdied seven of his first nine holes to turn in 7-under 29 Thursday at the Frys.com Open. He did cool off on the front nine (his second nine) at Silverado Country Club's North Course, making just two birdies in his final nine holes, but a 9-under 63 was good enough for the early lead in Napa, Calif.
