On the heals of Justin Thomas’s 59 a couple of weeks ago, Adam Hadwin posted a 59 in the 3rd round at the Career Builders’ Challenge. While 59s don’t seem to be as mysteriously hard as they had been, perhaps more important is that Hadwin’s was on a par 72 course making his round a -13. Perhaps that is the new measurement to be sought to match or break.

The Career Builder’s Challenge had another first – the first win on tour by Hudson Swafford who ended the event a -20.
