January 12, 201610 yr 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.
January 12, 201610 yr I want to be him when I grow up. I'd like to be his caddie! Or hell, his golf club cleaner guy.
January 12, 201610 yr ...Jordan Spieth is pretty good. -30, 8-shot win in Hawaii. 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.
