Clanton, third in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, has been a dominant amateur this year. He said this latest performance reinforces his belief in his ability to succeed in professional golf.
With eight birdies and two eagles – including a an unexpected 50-metre pitch-in for eagle at 17 and birdie at 18 – Hayden Springer shot a 12-under-par 59 on the par-71 course.
This week was an affirmation of the belief that so many have but few come to find: that Poston doesn’t just belong out here, but truly, unequivocally and without doubt can be something more.
