Calc: Nine In A Row!

John Nicholson of AP reports that Mark Calcavecchia broke the tour record for consecutive birdies Saturday, breaking one of the more incredible tour feats and quite possible the most impossible-to-guess trivia answer ever:

Calcavecchia broke the record set by Bob Goalby in his 1961 St. Petersburg Open victory and matched by Fuzzy Zoeller (1976 Quad Cities Open), Dewey Arnette (1987 Buick Open), Edward Fryatt (2000 Doral-Ryder Open), J.P. Hayes (2002 Bob Hope Classic) and Jerry Kelly (2003 Las Vegas Invitational). Hayes played alongside Calcavecchia on Saturday.

There will be detractors who will say it shouldn't count because they played preferred lies, but nine in a row anywhere--even touching the ball--is amazing. It's amazing in a four-man scramble!
