Rookie Shocks with Course Record 59 | Salt Lake City News
Description
Chris Francoeur just shattered records with a course-record 59 in the second round of the Utah Championship, catapulting him to 17-under par and into prime position for his first Korn Ferry Tour win. The 27-year-old Massachusetts native, who’s struggled early in his rookie season, turned it on with nine birdies and an eagle — including a clutch par on the final hole — to set a new benchmark. His stunning performance comes just days after two other PGA-sanctioned course records, making this one of the most electrifying moments in tour golf this year. Meanwhile, local Utah golfers faltered, contrasting sharply with Francoeur’s dominance. With just one shot shy of last year’s winning total, he’s now in the driver’s seat — can he hold off the pressure and claim his breakthrough victory?
