Frost ‘Settles’ for a Record 61

David Frost had visions of a 59, but settled for a Harbour Town-record 10-under-par 61 during a second day of low scores and light wind in the Heritage Classic on Friday.

Frost had 10 birdies and no bogeys, and his 131 total left him one stroke in front of Jim McGovern and Larry Mize and two ahead of former Heritage winners Greg Norman and Hale Irwin.

This time, it was Frost and other morning starters such as McGovern, Norman, Irwin and first-round co-leader Bob Estes who dominated the layout, still without its characteristic swirling gusts.

Mize, who made eight birdies for a 65 and a 132 total, was the only one in the top five Friday to tee off in the afternoon.

Russ Cochran shot a second 67 for a 134. Estes, Tom Lehman and Funk were four shots behind at 135. Estes and Funk shot 70 and Lehman 69.

“About the 15th hole, I thought about 59, but there were too many things going on for me to add it up,” said Frost, whose lowest round on the PGA Tour was a 60 at the 1988 Tucson Open.
