WINTER GARDEN, Fla. -- In the first round of the 2007 PGA TOUR National Qualifying Tournament, Frank Lickliter made six consecutive birdies en route to a 62.
On the seventh hole in that stretch, which was really the par-4 eighth hole on the Panther Lake Course, Lickliter hit a 4-iron right at the pin and watched his 35-foot birdie try lip out of the hole.
"I turned to one of the caddies and said, 'Can you believe that didn't go in?!'" Lickliter recalled later.
He went on to birdie Nos. 10 and 11 then added birdies on the 16th and 18th holes as well.
"The last seven holes I played in 2 under, so as far as 62s go it was pretty easy. If I could have made three more in a row then we are talking a 57 or 58."
That's the kind of day -- and ultimately week -- Lickliter was having. Everything seemed to go his way. Not only did he wind up shooting 62 during the first round of the six-day tournament, he followed that up with a 62 in the second round as well.
