The PGA Tour rookie Eric Booker's round of Golf ended much better than it started.
After five holes at the Woodlands, Tex., Booker was one over par and wondering where his next shot might go when he made a startling turnaround with an eagle and a hole-in-one on consecutive holes, shooting a six-under-par 66 for a one-shot lead in the $2.5 million Shell Houston Open
It's been done 3 times at the Masters tournament. Dan Pohl in 1982, Dustin Johnson in 2009, and Phil Mickelson in 2010. Mickleson missed a third consecutive eagle by 6 inches.
In 1997 during the last round of "The Masters of New Caledonia" at Tina golf course, Noumea, the french European Tour player Michel Besanceney made 3 consecutives eagles on holes 14 par 5, 15 par 4, 16 Par 5 to shot a final score of 64. Despite this new course record, he lost the tournament in a play-off against Thomas Levet
Although Phil almost did it yesterday, no golfer has ever accomplished this in professional play.
Tiger Woods
In 18 holes around 110
In theory, the lowest possible score is 1 * the number of holes played (18 for a full round). Practically, the lowest competitive round recorded is 58.
A "score" is 20 consecutive years in time. 3 "score" would be 60 consecutive years.
300, a perfect score.
Personally, I score about a 40 on 9 holes. Most scores are between 50 and 30.
Bowled: 10 Total Score: 134 Average Score: 13 Consecutive Strikes: 2 Consecutive Spares: 1
Since an eagle is bigger than a birdie I believe that's how it got its name. Even though an eagle is a lower score it is a much more valuable score.
An Eagle.
Double-eagle
