Stuart Appleby is the Wizard from Oz - 59 to win US  event

Stuart Appleby recorded only the fifth round of 59 in US PGA Tour history to win the Greenbrier Classic by a single stroke at White Sulphur Springs on Sunday.
The Australian made nine birdies and an eagle at the par-five 12th hole as he surged from seven shots off Jeff Overton's overnight lead to seal an astonishing triumph.
Overton three-putted the par-five 17th after reaching the green in two and was then only narrowly off target with a 54-foot putt at the last to come up one stroke short.
