SIOUX FALLS -- Twenty-one. That’s it. For as long as collegiate golfers have been turning in scorecards, only 21 times has a player turned one in where his or her 18 hole scores added up to 60.
Tiger Woods burst onto the golf scene while racking up 11 victories at Stanford but during his career with the Cardinal never signed for a 60.
Since 1999, when Arizona State’s Paul Casey recorded the first documented 60 in collegiate golf history at the Pac-10 Championship, there have been hundreds of thousands of rounds played at collegiate tournaments across the country.
Jordan Speith put together a decorated collegiate career leading the Texas Longhorns to the 2012 National Championship but he also never signed for a 60.
It is such a rare occurrence but the beauty of golf is that the opportunity for such a feat presents itself every time you take your first swing at the No. 1 tee box.
For the latest member of “Club 60”, South Dakota State’s Tyler Seeling, he had zero idea he would be making history on a sunny Sunday afternoon in Michigan’s upper peninsula.
He grew up in Breezy Point, a small town nestled in Minnesota lake country, learning the game at a par-3 course close to his home.
We caught up with Mr. Sixty in our first “Behind The Peak” feature to learn more about the Jackrabbit senior and his history making round.
