David Duval converts a six-foot putt for eagle on the 18th hole to tie a PGA record of 59 and win the Bob Hope Desert Classic by two strokes over Steve Pate at La Quinta, California. Duval’s achievement ties Al Geiberger (1977, Memphis) and Chip Beck (1991, Las Vegas) for the lowest round ever posted, but this is the first time it occurs during a final round. Duval leapfrogs 12 players who began the day ahead of him and pockets the first-prize check of $540,000.
