The 1959 Tucson High state champion shot 29-33 but it wasnβt a by-the-book round. He birdied No. 7 after hitting a tree and bouncing on the green; he birdied No. 8 by sinking a long blast from a front bunker, and he birdied No. 18 after hitting the trees off the tee and playing an adjacent fairway on his second shot. βI had a lot of 63s and 64s, but the 62 was my lowest ever,β he said.Β
