U.S. Junior Amateur scoring record

This Tour star’s little brother just set a U.S. Junior Amateur scoring record

Two bogeys, a double and a lone birdie added up to 39 as he made the turn at Bandon Dunes on Monday. It was a respectable score, but if he really wanted to make some noise, he’d need some more inspired play on his closing nine.

Coming right up!

Cantlay — younger brother of PGA Tour star Patrick — carded four birdies and two eagles over his final nine holes at Bandon, good for a record-setting 28. The total represented the lowest nine-hole score in U.S. Junior Amateur history.

“It’s just another round of golf,” Cantlay said after his opening-round 67. “Sometimes you play good and sometimes you play bad. Today, I played good.”

Good is a bit of an understatement. Cantlay’s front nine (he started on No. 10) was nothing short of blistering.
