There’s going low.
And there’s what Eric Axley is doing Wednesday during the second round of the PGA Tour Champions Q School final stage.
Starting on the back nine on the Champions Course at TPC Scottsdale, Axley eagled the par-5 10th hole. Nice start.
He then went birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie-birdie to get to 8 under through six holes.
Axley finally cooled off with pars on the par-5 17th and par-4 18th. Still, he made the turn in 28 and he is officially on 59 watch.
Quite a turnaround from his 1-under 70 in the first round.
Axley, 49, doesn’t turn 50 until April 22 next year but is vying for one of five tour cards being handed out this week for the 2024 season.
He has one win – the 2006 Valero Texas Open – in 209 starts on the PGA Tour and $3.2 million in career earnings.
