Back in 1977, on a humid Friday in Memphis, Al Geiberger became golf's Neil Armstrong -- or at least its Roger Bannister. Geiberger shot 59 that day, then held his reign as the most recent (and only) player to accomplish that feat for 14 years.
By comparison, Justin Thomas' place in that position lasted exactly nine days. (That is, if we don't count Woody Austin's 59 that occurred at an unofficial PGA Tour Champions event the next day.) The ink was barely dry on everyone writing about the eighth sub-60 score in history when Adam Hadwin produced the ninth with an unlikely 13-birdie performance during the third round of the CareerBuilder Challenge.
