BREAKING: Appleby's 59 Takes Greenbrier From Overton

Stuart Appleby has become the fifth player in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59. He pulled it off by going eleven-under in the final round of The Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia.

Jeff Overton had a chance to tie at 22-under on the par-five 17th, but his birdie out from three feet ran over a spike mark and lipped out.

Overton's tee shot on the par-three 18th came up a half-club short leaving him a testy birdie putt to send the tourney into a playoff. His birdie putt, over a ridge in the middle of the green, ended up a foot short. Overton tapped in for his par to shoot a final-round 67 and a 21-under par total.

It is Appleby's 9th PGA career win...
Maybe this kind of stuff is preordained to a certain degree...
Appleby had the Shot of the Day from Round 1
FOSG Brian Katrek has the call...
