59- The magical score in golf.

On records, only 5 person who actually score the magical number in golfing history;

1) Al Geiberger:
- First person in history to shot 59 (his second round in) winning the 1977 Danny Thomas Memphis Classic

2) Chip Beck:
- Second person in history shot a round of 59 during the third round of the 1991 Las Vegas International on the Sunrise Golf Club (par 72) in Las Vegas, Nevada

3) David Duval:
- shooting a 59 in the final round of the 1999 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic on the Palmer Course at PGA West in La Quinta, California (doing so in dramatic fashion by making an eagle on the 18th hole).

4) Annika Sörenstam :
- Sorenstam was the first player ever to break 60 in an LPGA event; she shot a 59 at the par-72 Moon Valley Country Club in Phoenix in the second round of the 2001 Standard Register PING tournament


5) Myself:
- shot 59 during yesterday tournament via EA sport mobile against Tiger Woods.

Sigh…I was unable to play real golf due to back injury…. Damn boring..........
