He returned to Earth temporarily, filling the next three, but then bisquised six of his next seven. Again he put a t-shirt blow inside four feet in the ninth par-three, and the 15, another torque 3, drilled a Putt Birdie more than 31 feet away.
Through 15 holes, Knapp was 11 years old, but reviewed his next two holes, needing a Birdie in 18º 18 to break 60.
That was not a problem. After a 335 yards trip, he hit the green from approximately 200 yards. I missed an eagle putt that would have been only the second 58 in the history of the PGA Tour, but it is 15 ° 59 on the tour.

It is also the sixth time in the story of PGA that anyone has gone under a round, joining Scottie Scheffler, Jim Furyk (twice), Paul Goydos and Hayden Springer.
It was a 29 in the front and a 30 on the back for Knapp.
Knapp reached each torque 5 in two shots, and touched almost 70 feet of Putts Birdie in PAR-3 and 4. Then he drilled the six putts between 6 and 12 feet in the day.
One would correctly assume that Knapp is the leader in the Club House at this time, with three others closer to eight bass.

Knapp has a Victory of PGA Tour under his credit: the 2024 Mexico Open, one year and one day to its 59; He competed in his first three major last year, ended T55 in the Masters and lost the cut both in the PGA championship and in the US Open.
But, perhaps this could be a trust reinforcement.
