College Golfer Ross Shoots 57
A sub-60 is quite a golf score. But a 57 sounds so much better, right?
Alex Ross posted the stupendous scorecard yesterday at the notoriously low-scoring Dogwood Invitational in Atlanta.
MR. 57!
Davidson’s Alex Ross just fired a 15-under 57 in the third round of the 2019 Dogwood Invitational.

GolfDigest.com’s Ryan Herrington has the details.
The 20-year-old Atlanta native who will be a junior at Davidson next fall shot a 15-under 57, making 13 birdies and an eagle. After shooting a 30 on his front nine, Ross shot a nine-under 27 on the back.
Ross’ record round is made all the more intriguing by the fact that he played 36 holes on Thursday, recording a one-over 73 in the morning. In other words, he improved by 16 shots from morning to afternoon.
Whatever. I’ve done that on consecutive nines…
In the pantheon of low numbers, Ross’ round racks up with any score at any level. The record low score on the PGA Tour was a 58 from Jim Furyk at the Travelers Championship in 2017. Stephan Jaeger shot a 58 on the Web.com Tour and Ryo Ishikawa shot a 58 on the Japan Tour. Bobby Wyatt shot a 57 during a round at the Alabama Boys Junior in 2010.
