American Golfer Wyndham Clark Shoots Course-Record 60 at Pebble Beach Pro-Am

In a thrilling turn of events, American golfer Wyndham Clark made history at the prestigious Pebble Beach Pro-Am. With an extraordinary round on the famous California links course, Clark shot a course-record 60. This remarkable achievement propelled him to take the lead after three rounds.

Clark’s incredible performance included two eagles and nine birdies, resulting in a score of 10-under-par after just 11 holes on Saturday. It seemed as though he might even reach an astonishing sub-59 score or lower, but fate intervened with a couple of putts that fell agonizingly short. Nevertheless, this outstanding round marked the potential thirteenth sub-60 round in PGA Tour history.

Reflecting on his feat, Clark expressed pride in his mental fortitude during the game: “In my mind, I think in the past I would have coasted in and shot a nice eight or nine under,” he said to reporters. “To keep pushing myself and remain aggressive mentally was truly impressive.”

The only minor setback amid Clark’s scintillating performance was a bogey on the twelfth hole. However, he responded tenaciously by securing three more birdies across the final six holes.
