LA QUINTA, Calif. - Ryan Palmer shot the lowest round in his PGA Tour career. He matched the tour record for the longest eagle-birdie streak. He moved into contention in the Humana Challenge.The 38-year-old Texan did his best to look at the many positives. It wasnt easy after letting a chance to shoot 59 or lower slip away Friday at PGA West.The most important thing now was getting back within striking distance, Palmer said.After playing an eight-hole stretch in 10 under, Palmer needed to go 3 under on the final eight — with two reachable par 5s left — to shoot 59.Instead, he bogeyed the next two holes. He made three more birdies, but couldnt get a couple of late putts to fall and settled for an 11-under 61.Walking off 10, after I got to 10 under, I was staying calm, trying not to think about anything, just trying to keep my momentum going, my pace with my walk, Palmer said. Its hard not to think about it.After opening with two pars, Palmer had two eagles and six birdies on the next eight holes to match the longest eagle-birdie streak in tour history. The streak ended with a bogey on the par-4 second and he dropped another stroke on the par-3 third.Couple loose swings there, Palmer said. I guess the bogeys did kind of calm me down a little bit more and I didnt worry about, obviously, the number.Palmer birdied the fourth and sixth holes and made another on the par-5 eighth after missing an 8-foot eagle try. A 59 no longer possible, he missed a 6-foot birdie putt on the ninth in a closing par.Palmer holed out from 97 yards for eagle on the par-4 12th to start the streak on the Jack Nicklaus Private Course. He birdied the next three holes, made a 20-foot eagle putt from the fringe on the par-5 16th and added three more birdies.I didnt make anything long, except for the eagle on 16, Palmer said.He tied the birdie-eagle streak record set by Billy Mayfair in the 2001 Buick Open and matched by Briny Baird in the 2003 FUNAI Classic. Mayfair and Baird were 9 under during their runs, making seven birdies and an eagle.At 9-under 27, Palmer matched the tour record for relation to par for nine holes and was a stroke off the record of 26 set by Corey Pavin on a par-34 nine in Milwaukee in 2006.Six players have shot 59 on the PGA Tour.
