Brandt Snedeker shoots 10th sub-60 round on PGA Tour: video highlights

Brandt Snedeker has etched his name into PGA Tour history becoming the 10th player to shoot a sub-60 round.

Today there was another one making it the third successive year it’s happened on the PGA Tour, and the fourth in the last three years.

Brandt Snedeker is the latest name to join this illustrious club after carding a sub-60 opening round at the Wyndham Championship.

Snedeker’s 11-under par round of 59 included a bogey on the first hole, but was capped off by a sensational 20-foot birdie putt on his final hole (the 9th) to etch his name into history.
