Tyrone Van Aswegen leading the Traveler's right now at seven under--which brings to mind two questions: Who in the wide world of sports is *this* guy? And, I wonder if he has personalized "Aswegen" plates on his car? (Or better yet, on his van.)

Jim Furyk's Playing Partner Almost Ruined His 58 with an Incorrect Scorecard

by GOLF.com Staff Posted: Sun Aug. 7, 2016

<snip>

Furyk shot his record-breaking 12-under 58 playing alongside Miguel Angel Carballo on Sunday, and Furyk's barrage of birdies must have confused the lesser-known Tour pro. Carballo initially marked Furyk down for a 3 at the par-4 14th hole, which is a problem because Furyk made a rare par at 14. Fortunately, Carballo realized his mistake and replaced the 3 with a 4. Had he not discovered his error and handed in the incorrect scorecard signed by both players, it would have led to a painful DQ for Furyk. LINK

Ha ha! That would've been unbelievable if the guy ruined Furyk's 58 with a scorecard error.

Hypothetically, which would have been worse. Screwing up the scorecard on a 58 or the ump that completely blew the call at first base with two outs in the ninth costing the pitcher a perfect game?

Oh, I'd say an error on the 58 scorecard would be way worse. There have been lots of perfect games. But only one PGA 58. /jmho
