It is safe to say Utah's Sergio Jimenez brought his best golf to Hawaii.
After shooting 59 in a practice round earlier in the week, Jimenez holds the 36-hole lead heading into the final round of the 2025 John Burns Intercollegiate at The Ocean Course at Hokuala in Lihue, Hawaii.
No one has broken 60 in college golf competitions. The previous course record was 62. Jimenez is currently ranked No. 216 in the Golfweek/AmateurGolf.com World Rankings.
