A Timely 59 Helps The Cause At PGA TOUR Q-School

An eagle and 11 birdies, including a string of seven in a row, were all Texan Harrison Frazar needed on the PGA West Stadium Course Saturday to record a magical 13-under par 59 and claim a four-stroke lead through 72 of the 108 holes of PGA TOUR Qualifying School.

After draining a 40-footer for birdie on the 17th hole to go to 13-under
Frazer faced an 18-foot putt for birdie on the last hole for an incredulous 58, only to have this ball narrowly skim past the hole.

"We know how low we are every time," Frazar said. "Somebody who says they don't know how many under they are is lying. I knew how low I was. To be honest with you -- and this is going to sound bad and this is going to sound flippant -- but I didn't really care if I shot 59. I just wanted to make as many birdies as I could. This isn't the last day, and this isn't over."

Frazar is now 24-under par after 72 holes.

Also posting solid sub par rounds were Canadians Bryan DeCorso and Jim Rutledge (66) and Jon Mills (67), Brennan Webb and Dustin Risdon (70).
