I mean awesome round how just how’s it feel you broke the N9 hole record on the front with the 27 and then you shot the lowest scorer in any PJ sanction event the 57 how does it feel yeah I mean incredible man I honestly I was I was
Just playing um I didn’t even know what I was at I actually I asked my caddy on the 18th after I hit my 18th t-shot we were just walking and I called him I was like hey am I going to shoot am I going to break 60 I’ve never broken 60 before
So he was like I think you’re going to break a little bit more than 60 but yeah I mean I just I played in I mean I played really good golf I drove the ball well uh chipped It Well puted it Well um yeah I mean I’m I’m happy I
Mean it was a great round com do you think you have this type of round in you go this slow uh I mean I don’t know it had it had to be a specific you know type of course to kind of do this stuff obviously if it’s difficult you know the
Score is going to be higher uh obviously I haven’t even broken six practicing at my home course um you know in my home course is pretty difficult um so you know I’m I’m excited I mean maybe if I play on the women’s team maybe I’ll BR
60 some someday there but yeah I mean it’s uh yeah it’s I’m I’m just happy man it’s a great round when at what point today in this round was it at the turn after you know you had the 27 where you started thinking 60 was a possibility
What point was it kind um I mean I knew I mean I knew I I made the turn at eight eight under and um yeah I mean I just I was like you know what let’s try to just kind of put myself like a little like um goal on the
Back I was trying to shoot like I don’t know four or five under on the back nine just regardless of what I what I shot in the front and uh that kind of kept my head a little bit you know not thinking of you know what my score was or but uh
Yeah I mean it was it was good it kind of can I kept it going you know that’s that’s definitely the key um and coming in today the Pacos course last year played a bit easier on than logos so was that something coming into today that to take advantage of starting on this
Course today yeah of course um yeah I mean the greens are softer uh we there was a bunch of rain at the beginning of the week um so you know last year when I played the greensbor a lot firmer and I hit driver everywhere kind of like just
What I did today and then I kind of shorts side myself a few times and I couldn’t get it close but the greens were so soft and the pins were still tucked but you know greens were so soft that I could just hit it you know near
The green and just flop it near the hole or something you know that pot on 18 there was a score in your head at all when you’re eyeing it up uh not really I was just I mean obviously I wanted to make it I actually hit a good put I just
You know Miss read a little bit uh you know it was a little bit more break than I thought um but yeah I mean I I hit a great shot into it I hit a great PT too and happy it was like it’s a good round
And then how do you plan going into tomorrow kind of carry this momentum over yeah I mean new course tomorrow so um nah same strategy that I do you know in every every day every tournament you know same routine um nothing really changes you
Know so just going to try to do my best and trying to hit good shots and trying to make putts and hopefully hopefully you know at the end of the at the end of the week you know we’ll uh we’ll be good golf I told my my Prime partner we’re playing
Uh was it yesterday and he he was tell you know asking me about the course I’m like you know if if somebody could shoot 59 he would probably be out here and then well guess what I uh I broke it so I’m I’m happy does it make go ahead how does it know
Or how does it feel just to know that you’ve got a PGA Tour sanctioned record round yeah no it’s I mean surreal actually I mean I still don’t I mean I don’t know I’m I’m just happy it was a good round um yeah I mean I don’t really know um
Just good playing and being from South America does kind of make that a little bit more special doing it down here yeah of course yeah yeah I mean it’s you know the people you know they know me um you know that we had a good crowd going um
Yeah I mean it’s good you know it feels it feels good to you know to when people you know they Applause your shots and you know so it was fun did you have anyone in the crowd today that uh well my my wife and actually my parents-in-law they flew in this morning
They came from Orlando and um yeah it was good they I’ve never been to Colombia so I was like hey you guys need to come here we’re going to have good food um hopefully good weather uh you know good golf course so it’s going to be a good time [Applause] does that feel
Real I don’t even know how I didn’t even know what score was I had to ask my caddy I was like where where are we at I didn’t know for

Said by one person ever: "Shoulda made that 7-footer on 18 for a 56." Sums up golf just about perfectly.
'It was a good round', possibly the single greatest understatement in golfing history. How many PGA sanctioned rounds have been recorded?! A good round…😅
Historic!!!
He said maybe he could break 60 playing from the women’s tees! That popped me! Later in his career, I bet someone will dig that sound bite up and try to have him cancelled for saying that…🤪
If there ever was a statistic to hold, this isn't half bad 😆
Poor Bryson
Didn’t see one putt go in the hole. What sort of coverage.
No putts, what the?
With the PING driver 🔥 best on the market by FAR
Could have easily been a 56 that’s INSANE!
Those are some flat greens 🙃
Excuse my ignorance…what is a PGATour sanctioned round? Under their financial management I guess. Yeah, that womens golf jibe gaff was not intentional but was a loose slip of the tongue and unfortunately it really sours the acheivement…sad
Golf is the meanest!
wow…great round
absurd interview!! five minutes of the same question!! hahaha
not a single interesting fact…what is this guys average score?…how long on tour?…standing?…home course?…sponsors?…what kind of champagne will he celebrate with??
hahaha hahaha…leave it to professional golf to be the most unprofessional production…the pga should be disbanded.
“Maybe if I play off the women’s tee I might break 60..”
A collective glare from nearly every player on the LPGA tour towards Hailey Davidson
Hopefully he can win the tournament too. Lol
Many people will play Pacos y Fabios in the future. Today became a famous course worlwide.
The guy was in such a zone that he didn't even know he was putting for a 56 on the 18th hole. What a great feeling that must have been to finally look at the scorecard.
Humble, friendly and passionate. A great player persona and lovely human being.
