Jake Knapp proved that on Thursday afternoon on the Cognizant Vintage when he carded a 59, one stroke off the PGA Excursion list.Knapp started his day at PGA Nationwide in Palm Seashore Gardens with 5 directly birdies, and had 11 birdies general entering the overall two holes. His birdie putt at the seventeenth simply slightly lipped out, costing him a possibility at a PGA Excursion-record 57. He then had an 18-foot, 8-inch putt for 58. That putt skirted good, and Knapp tapped in for a 59.Jim Furyk owns the Excursion list of 58, set in 2016 on the Vacationers Championship. Fourteen gamers previous to Knapp have carded a 59, maximum just lately Hayden Springer remaining 12 months on the John Deere Vintage.Knapp, clearly, leads the match, taking a three-stroke clubhouse lead over Daniel Berger, Russell Henley and Jesper Svensson.It is a growing tale and can be up to date.
