If I read the Herald-Leader correctly this was Par 73 course. Pros rarely play anything above Par 71 these days. He definitely scorched it. -31 is the PGA record, set by Erie Els.

I'd like to be his caddie! Or hell, his golf club cleaner guy.

The more negative the integer, the better, right? If there's not a windmill or a clown's nose, I'm lost when it comes to that game.

Yes, but a par 73 typically means more par 5's, which are much easier for pros to birdie than par 4's or 3's. Basically it is typically easier to shoot a 65 on a par 73 than a 63 on a par 71, even though both are 8 under. Don't get me wrong. When you shoot 30 under and nobody else does better than 22 under, that is crazy...Tiger like. Beating everyone by 8 strokes or more in a very good field is very impressive.
