Players to shoot 60 include Paul Casey, PGA Tour pros

Players to shoot 60 include Paul Casey, PGA Tour pros

There’s an elite, exclusive club in the world of college golf where new members are rarely added.

The cost to get in? A once-in-a-lifetime round. While no player has even crossed the scoring threshold into the 50s, 15 men’s players have signed for a 60, with Lindsey Wilson College’s Sebastian Sandin initiating himself into the group with a 10-under 60 during the second round of the Lindsey Wilson Invite on Monday at The Pines at Lindsey Wilson in Columbia, Kentucky.

While no woman has ever signed for a 60 in an official college round, five have signed for a 61, most recently in 2020 courtesy of Denver’s Anna Zanusso at the Westbrook Invitational. Ole Miss’ Julia Johnson did the same in 2019 at the Battle at the Beach. While at Gonzaga, Bianca Pagdanganan shot a 61 at the 2017 Pizza Hut Thunderbird Invitational. Before that, Colorado’s Esther Lee joined the club at the Branch Law Firm/Dick McGuire Invitational in 2016. Stanford’s Mariah Stackhouse recorded the first women’s 61 at the 2013 Peg Barnard Invitational.

Take a scroll through the members of college golf’s Club 60.

Juan Jose Guerra, Nova Southeastern

The opening day of the Battle at the Shores hosted by Barry University in 2017 was a 36-hole day. Then a sophomore, Guerra posted a 2-over 73 in the first round before firing an 11-under 60 in the afternoon’s second round. How’s that for a bounceback round?

Steven Fisk, Georgia Southern

Steven Fisk fired a 12-under 60 in the second round at the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational to become the 13th college golfer to post a 60 in college golf, and he had a real shot to be the first 59. He missed a four-footer for birdie on his penultimate hole and missed a 16-footer for birdie on his last.
