It’s the lowest round in PGA Tour history by an 18-year-old since 1983 and puts him tied with Scheffler atop the leaderboard at 17 under par.<\/p>\n
In his first round, he shot a solid 67 and on Friday, Brown’s moment came. However, he will be concerned about becoming the 16th player ever to shoot 59 on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n
And did Brown feel the pressure on the final hole?<\/p>\n

“Absolutely, I did,” Brown said.<\/p>\n
“I stuck to my game plan, I made a game plan that I could control. I couldn’t get it this time but I’m very happy.<\/p>\n
“I was actually just looking at how beautiful this golf course is – I was looking at the water over there.<\/p>\n
Sometimes you need something to calm you down and I just say, ‘I’m going to shoot this picture that I can and put this line that I see’.<\/p>\n
“Unfortunately, it didn’t go in, but I’m happy with the result I got today.<\/p>\n
\u201cScottie is an unbelievable player and to have my name next to his on the leaderboard.<\/p>\n
“This weekend I will focus on shooting what I know and seeing what happens.<\/p>\n
“I will go to bed tomorrow.”<\/p>\n

From the back, six birdies and an eagle raised eyebrows and sparked interest, and Brown rounded the corner without dropping a shot as pars on the 17th and 18th saw him 8 under.<\/p>\n
His front 9 was nothing short of electrifying but birdies on the second, fourth, fifth and sixth saw him enter the final three holes needing one birdie to add his name to the history books.<\/p>\n

It was made all the more remarkable that on Wednesday afternoon, the 18-year-old finished 17th in the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour in what was their second event of the season. He then flew more than 3,000 miles to California without practice rounds to participate in American Express.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Scheffler followed a first-round 63 with a second-round 64 as he added eight birdies and no bogeys and is now tied for the top of the table at 17-under after an impressive 12-under 60.<\/p>\n
