This 59 stands far above most, maybe all, the others that have been shot. Some of the 59's were under lift/clean/place rules, which has to take something away from the accomplishment. Others were due primarily to hot putting days; which, let's face it, have a large element of luck. Duval's 59 was a result of one of the greatest tee-to-green days ever. Iron shot after iron shot finished close to the hole. He was the best golfer in the world (including Tiger), but for too brief a time.
