A week after Michael Brennan threatened to tie the Tour’s record for most consecutive made birdies in a round, Sahith Theegala challenged — and eventually tied — the mark for most birdies to open a round by carding six consecutive circle to start his Wyndham Championship.
Theegala's attempt at the record seventh straight birdie came at the par-3 7th, where he bogeyed to fall back to 5 under through seven holes.
And all that drama came within an hour after Beau Hossler signed his first round 61 to become the clubhouse leader — the fifth such low score in three weeks.
With course conditions primed for low scoring, Theegala could certainly challenge for a sub-60 score on Thursday. Golf Channel will be carrying live Round 1 coverage beginning at 3 p.m.
