Adam Long sets unique PGA Tour record hitting 56-of-56 fairways at the World Wide Technology Championship

Adam Long registered a unique record during last week's World Wide Technology Championship at the El Cardonal Golf Course, which was designed by Tiger Woods. A total of 5,740 tees were shot on the par-4s and par-5s and out of these 5,194 landed in the fairway.

While most of the golfers missed taking a shot on the fairway, Long set a unique record of hitting 56-of-56 fairways, showcasing his amazing golfing skills.

Speaking about the tournament, Long said (via Golf Digest):

“I was like, ‘Ahh come on, don’t make it the last one! It’s alright to miss one, but don’t make it the very last hole! So we get over the crest, maybe 100 yards before the ball, and it’s sitting right in front of the bunker and it was mine. It hung on for dear life. It was only a few feet from going into that bunker.”

Adam Long became the first player in the history of the PGA Tour, who has not missed a single fairway.

The 2023 World Wide Technology Championship concluded last week, with Erik van Rooyen lifting the trophy of the tournament. He registered a two-stroke lead over Matt Kuchar and Camilo Villegas.
