Rex Caldwell, 1983: 9
1983 produced two unwanted PGA trivia answers for Rex Caldwell. First, at the ’83 Phoenix Open, he was part of an eight-hole sudden-death playoff that was won by Bob Gilder. It’s tied for the second-longest sudden-death playoff in PGA history. Then he carded a nine during the second round of the Players Championship, the highest-ever score at the time. Caldwell’s ’83 ended on a better note, though, when he outlasted Lee Trevino at the LaJet Coors Classic for his first (and only) PGAS Tour win.
