There are certain rounds of golf that will stick with you for a lifetime. Especially when they come during a competition, in the case of Jim Furyk one of best rounds he ever played came in Round 2 of the BMW Championship at Conway Farms back in 2013.

On that day Furyk joined the 59 club when he broke the course record at Conway Farms set by member Luke Donald.

Furyk overcame a bad 3-putt on the fifth hole and regained his momentum to make the incredible score. It was a day that he will never forget.
