Iowa’s Brady Schnell, pictured, made PGA Tour Canada history on Friday, holing out a gap wedge from the fairway on his final hole to shoot a 13-under 59 at Sirocco Golf Club at the ATB Financial Classic. 
Schnell moved to 14-under through 36 holes to sit two shots back of leader Brock Mackenzie of Yakima, Washington, who shot a 9-under 63 to take a one shot lead over Tulsa’s Stephen Carney through two rounds.
Schnell, a 29-year old in his third season on PGA Tour Canada, holed a 122yd approach with a gap wedge on the 454yd ninth hole for his final shot of the day. 
He became the second player in PGA Tour Canada history to shoot a sub-60 score. Previously, Jason Bohn shot a 13-under 58 in the final round of the 2001 Bayer Championship.
“To shoot 59 is crazy enough, but to hole out on the last hole to do it, I just can’t even believe it,” said Schnell, a University of Nebraska graduate. “That’s the ultimate number, to get inside the 50s."

Earlier, Mackenzie’s 63 gave him a 16-under total through two rounds, tying the record for lowest 36-hole score of the PGA Tour Canada era.
“I knew I was playing well, but I didn’t realize at the end I was 9-under,” said Mackenzie, who tied the lowest 36-hole score of the PGA Tour Canada era at 128.

Banchory's Paul Cormack is on five-under-par 211 after completing his third round in the current tournament. He has had rounds of 70, 69 and 72 but is T56 in the field, so low are the scores in this tournament.
Former Scottish boys champion Paul Ferrier from Edinburgh missed the cut by four shots with scores of 71 and 73 for 144.
England's rookie pro Greg Eason missed the cut by one shot with scores of 70-71 for 141.
