David Skinns Sets First-Round Course Record

David Skinns set a personal and course record with a 12-under 60 in the first round of the Sanderson Farms Championship, narrowly missing a 9-foot putt that would have made him the third PGA Tour player this year to shoot 59. Skinns, a 42-year-old from England, displayed a remarkable putting performance, making 12 birdies and gaining more than four shots on the greens. Despite his record-breaking round, Skinns expressed slight disappointment over missing the historic score, but focused on his strong mental game and attacking strategy. He leads the tournament by three shots over Michael Thorbjornsen and aims to maintain momentum to secure his PGA Tour card for the next season. Former U.S. Open champion Gary Woodland and Rickie Fowler also had notable performances, with Woodland shooting a bogey-free 64. Skinns' achievement was highlighted by long birdie putts, including a 54-footer on the par-3 seventh hole.
