Adam Svensson has personal-best 60 to lead in Utah's return to PGA Tour after 61 years
Adam Svensson has welcomed Utah back to the PGA Tour schedule with the lowest round of the Canadian's career on the tour
IVINS, Utah (AP) — Adam Svensson made a 35-foot eagle putt he thought he had missed and closed with a birdie from the bunker for a career-best 11-under 60, giving him a two-shot lead Thursday in the Black Desert Championship as the PGA Tour returned to Utah for the first time in 61 years.
Black Desert Resort had a gorgeous day to make its debut with a Tom Weiskopf design cut through an ancient field of black lava and surrounded by the red rock mountains some 30 miles from Zion National Park.
Svensson and so many others made short work of the course in ideal scoring conditions.
Henrik Norlander hit all 14 fairways and all 18 greens in posting his career-low of 62. He was joined by Korn Ferry Tour grad Matt McCarty, who had an eagle on the reachable par-4 fifth.
