I played in 3 or 4 of these. Diego’s second round in 2009 was insane! You might have to fact check me on this but I think Diego was 66 or 65 and no one else broke par that day. Winds were howling! Thanks for your research and writing!

Thank you for reading and the comment! I would love to follow up with you on your personal college golf experience for the larger historical archive project I'm working on if you're up for it.

Diego Velasquez's rd2 66/-4 in 2009 was absolutely wild. At some point we'll roll out a deep dive on the stats from this tournament, but you're right, the next closest score was 71/+1. He was 12.16 strokes better than the field average, which is the third best round (in terms of SGT) going back to 1999!
