I was leading from mile 29 until mile 98 (of 102)! My lead was as big as 45 minutes. I was chill, relaxed, and in control of my race through the halfway point. I made some tactical errors early on the way back but I was still moving and nothing ever got really bad, even though I knew I was slowing. I thought I had the win in the bag.
This race is in our backyard so having so many friends and acquaintances out there cheering me on was awesome.
I ran the first half of the race beautifully. I managed my effort well. I managed the heat. I was positive. My legs were strong and I never felt like I was pushing outside of an appropriate 100 mile effort. This resulted to me being in the lead from around mile 30 until mile 98 – very cool to be cheered into aid stations as the lead runner.
Manage the heat. It wasn’t even that hot and relative to other races (Western States, Pine to Palm, etc) it isn’t a super hot race. However, it was in the 80s and making efforts during the day to keep the core temperature down is important.
I’m not going to have a pacer until later in the race – last 10 or 20 miles. This is more of a personal lesson learned based on my personality and what I like about running with a pacer.
Major caveat here is that the course was different this year than normal due to the fires. It was an out and back and didn’t have anything of the normal course after the Hyak aid station.
Definitely. There was some smoke making for some hazy skies but being out in the WA mountains is awesome and I love running out here!
Spieth then backed up his first round with a second-round 66 to set the Masters Tournament 36-hole scoring record at 14-under 130. Raymond Floyd previously held the Masters 36-hole scoring record with 131 in 1976. Spieth then shot a third-round 70 to reach 16-under 200 through 54 holes, setting a new 54-hole tournament record which eclipsed ...
The leaderboard at No. 6 at Augusta National Golf Club. With his 2020 Masters performance, Dustin Johnson set or tied the all-time Masters record for the lowest 54-hole total and lowest 72-hole total in the event.
He won the tournament played in November by five shots on 20-under 268, establishing a new 72-hole scoring record in the Masters. The day prior, he tied the 54-hole scoring record of 16-under 200, first shot by Jordan Spieth in 2015.
In 2015, Jordan Spieth opened with 8-under 64 in the first round, missing the 18-hole course record at Augusta National by a shot. The Augusta National Masters Tournament course record is 9-under 63, shot by Nick Price in the third round of the 1986 Masters and Greg Norman in the first round of the 1996 Masters.
That total matched Tiger Woods' winning total in 1997. Jord an Spieth owns or shares the 36- and 54-hole Masters scoring records, while Dustin Johnson owns or shares ...
Spieth then shot a third-round 70 to reach 16-under 200 through 54 holes, setting a new 54-hole tournament record which eclipsed the previous record of 201, shot by Raymond Floyd in 1976 and Tiger Woods in 1997. Spieth then won the tournament on Sunday for his first major championship title, shooting a final round of 2-under 70 to post ...
Spieth has shot 64. Tiger Woods has won four Masters, but his best round is 65.
Had Spieth made birdie at 18, he would have tied Patrick Reed’s eventual winning score of 15 under. But a birdie would also have broken the course record, which has stood for 33 years, when it was set by Nick Price in 1986. On Saturday, April 12 1986, Price teed off early — he had barely made the cut after rounds of 79-69 to start the Masters.
At the U.S. Open, six players have shot 63, although only one — Justin Thomas — fired his on a par 72. At the PGA Championship, more 63s have been shot than at any other major, most recently by Brooks Koepka and Charl Schwartzel in 2018.
When Jordan Spieth poured in a lengthy birdie putt on No. 16 at the 2018 Masters, it got him right into the thick of contention. But it also gave him a chance at something else: the Augusta National course record. Spieth arrived at the 17th tee at nine under par, but made a par at No. 17 and a bogey at 18 to fall just shy of the course record.
