57!
/Dan Mirocha has the details on Bobby Wyatt's incredible stupefying 57 in the Alabama Junior.
Wyatt made 12 birdies and an eagle at the par-71, 6,638-yard Country Club of Mobile, a course where his family has held membership since Wyatt started playing golf at age 4.
His front-nine 26 included seven birdies and an eagle. He birdied Nos. 10 and 11 to get to 11 under through 11 holes, and closed with birdies on Nos. 13, 16 and 17 before making par on the 410-yard, par-4 18th.
And this is amazing:
“When I was standing on No. 8 tee, it hit me that I was 7 under through seven,” Wyatt said. “I told myself, ‘Just play 5 under from here.’ I tried not to think about my score. But then I birdied No. 8 and 9 and that gave me 26 on the front.”
That’s when a small group started to follow Wyatt’s group, including some of his father’s friends who congratulated him as he made his way to the 10th tee box. Wyatt said he had to consciously regroup mentally and stop focusing on his incredible score.
Haven't those friends of dad ever watched a no-hitter? You don't say anything you morons!
Now here's something you don't normally expect to hear:
“I’ve really been working hard with my psychologist about staying patient,” Wyatt said. “It came together for me today.”
Get us that shrink's name, now!
