Arnold Palmer's grandson Sam Saunders shoots 59

Sam Saunders, the grandson of the late Arnold Palmer, carded a 12-under-par 59 on the opening day of the Web.com Tour Championship in Florida.

​The 30-year-old birdied 13 holes, and used his putter just 20 times, as he leapt into a three-stroke lead at Atlantic Beach in Jacksonville.
Sam birdied his final six holes, and completed his back 9 in only 28 shots, with Saunders aiming to regain his PGA Tour playing rights ahead of the 2017-18 season which starts next week in California.

Arnold Palmer was my golfing hero and I am sure he would have been immensely proud of his Grandson shooting 59.
