"I did everything right to shoot 59," he said. "All I wanted to do was have a putt at 59 (and) you never know if you're going to get that putt again."

Rose two-putted on each of the par-5 holes on the course at the Magnolia Golf Club near Disney World.

Richard S. Johnson is alone in second place at 8-under 64. Tag Ridings, J.J. Henry, Bob Tway, Steve Flesch and Charles Howell III shot 7-under 65 to tie for third.
