SILVIS, Ill. (AP)—Paul Goydos has become just the fourth golfer in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59.

Goydos put together his 12-under, bogey-free round on the opening day of the John Deere Classic. He made the turn at 4-under, birdied all but one hole on the back nine at the 7,257-yard TPC Deere Run course and capped Thursday’s sizzling round by knocking in a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th.

He raised his club to acknowledge the roar from the crowd and accepted high-fives on the way to the clubhouse.

“It’s almost a mythical number in our game,” said Goydos, a 46-year-old pro from Dove Canyon, Calif.

It’s the first 59 on the tour since David Duval went that low in a memorable final round at the 1999 Bob Hope Classic. The other 59s were by Al Geiberger in 1977 and Chip Beck in 1991.
