Jacob Eggers had a feeling Sunday that he could break the course record at Boone Golf Club after he made the turn at 18.

He had no idea that he would shatter it.

Starting at the 10th hole, Eggers fired a round of 30 after collecting five birdies. By the time he was finished, Eggers finished with a round of 59, thus breaking the old course record of 63 by four strokes.

"I thought about it on the way up and felt I had a chance to shoot 32 on the front nine and break the record," Eggers said. "I didn't expect to shoot a 29 or a 59."

Eggers gave himself a chance at the course mark by picking up birdies on holes number 10, 12, 13 14 and 15.
