Lowest 72-Hole Stroke Total on PGA Tour

PGA Tour Scoring Record - 72 Hole Stroke Total

By Brent Kelley, About.com

Mike Souchak held this record for nearly 50 years before Mark Calcavecchia bested it. Then Tommy Armour III lowered it further:

  • 254 - Tommy Armour III (64-62-63-65), 2003 Valero Texas Open
  • 256 - Mark Calcavecchia (65-60-64-67), 2001 Phoenix Open
  • 257 - Mike Souchak (60-68-64-65), 1955 Texas Open; Tiger Woods (64-63-64-66), 2007 Tour Championship
  • 258 - Donnie Hammond (65-64-65-64), 1989 Texas Open; John Cook (64-62-63-69), 1996 FedEx St. Jude Classic; Steve Jones (62-64-65-67), 1997 Phoenix Open
Three of the listed figures, including the first and third-best totals, were shot at the Texas Open in San Antonio - but each was shot on a different golf course.
