Patrick Cantlay, Xander Schauffele fires 1st round 59 in Zurich Classic

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay opened this week’s Zurich Classic on fire, as Schauffele buried a 12-footer on #1 for birdie while Cantlay made an eagle on 2, then each of them made 2 more birdies going out to turn with a 7-under 29. Then, Cantlay holed out from off the green to get the pair to 12 under for the day, tied for the lead, and a closing birdie away from setting a new course record of 59. His 3-wood found the dance floor, setting up a 44-foot putt for an eagle and a 58 which was good enough for an easy tap in and a sub-60 effort.
