1/24/1999 - Duval wins with 59

David Duval shoots one of the best rounds of golf of all time at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic. Down by seven strokes at the start of the day, Duval shoots a 13-under par 59 to run away with the victory. He made zero bogeys, six pars, eleven birdies, and an eagle on No. 18 to shoot the lowest round of golf in PGA history, joining Al Geiberger and Chip Beck as the only men to ever shoot a 59. Not only was he the first person to accomplish the feat in the final round, he did it in dramatic fashion, winning the tournament by just a single stroke.

''I was excited, I'm not going to lie to you,'' Duval said. ''I was more excited about the score than having a chance to win the golf tournament. It was kind of like a double bonus. I certainly had aspirations of winning, but a 59 was first and foremost in my mind.''

Thanks to his incredible round of golf, Duval had won nine of his last 28 tournaments and reaffirmed his status as the best golfer in the world. But Duval's reign at the top came to a startling end just a couple years later. A combination of a bad back and a few personal issues thwarted the No. 1 ranked golfer. It got so bad that in 2009, when he finished second at the U.S. Open, he hadn't won since 2001 and his ranking had dropped all the way to No. 882.
