Web Dot Com Playoff Goes 11 Holes (And, Yes, It Did Finish)

((HT: Web.com Tour their own selves))

Steven Alker set a record by birdieing the 11th playoff hole in the Cleveland Open on the Web.com tour.

The feat ties the PGA Tour record of 11 holes at the 1949 Motor City Open and gives Alker his 4th tour win. His $108,000 check moves him up 100 spots on the money list- up to #12.

Here's their recap


For the record, the old record of playoff holes on the tour before today was 9 and Alker now heads to Pinehurst.

So, Is 59 Too Easy To Get These Days...???

((HT: webdotcomtour))

Isn't this the second time this year that someone has cleared a 59 on the web.com tour...???

It's the second round of the Albertson's tournament in Boise, and Russell Knox followed up his 69 with a 59- and he finished par-par for the 59...???

How's that...???

Will Willcox did it during the final round of the Utah Championship a few weeks ago to finish tied for third. But get this... the 59 by Knox was just the fifth ever on the Web.com tour...

Two in three weeks and five all-time...???

Knox is one up on the leaderboard at the half-way point...

Here's the putt for 59

Will Wilcox Fires A 59 On Web.Com Tour

You got to be on to break 60 in golf.  Will Wilcox was today in the final round of the Utah Championship on the Web.com Tour.

Wilcox fired golf's magic number, a 59 in Sunday's final round.

Here's the putt at 18 to seal the 59.


Wilcox had 10 birdies, an eagle and nine pars for a 12 under 59. 

Unfortunately that score wasn't good enough to win the Utah Championship as Wilcox finished -21 for the tournament.

Steven Alker and Ashley hall finished at -22 that forced a playoff.  Alker would birdie the first playoff hole to win the tournament.
