Luke Schniederjans had himself a round to remember last Wednesday. During the second round of the Mimosa Challenge, a GPro Tour event at Mimosa Hills Golf Club, Schniederjans went low, dissecting the Donald Ross-designed course in Morganton, North Carolina to the tune of 11-under 59. The 2020 Georgia Tech graduate made birdie on every hole on the front nine except for the par-4 fourth, making the turn at 8-under 27.

In his first professional event, Schniederjans followed that with a final-round 65 and tied for first with Greg Eason, who won the $10,000 first prize in a playoff. Schniederjans took home $5,450. James Clark missed the cut in the same event.

Biggest trout I ever caught. Brown on the Hiwassee river in Tennessee today. @SEAnglers is AWESOME!
We had 3 boats and 3 amazing guides. My man is Tic and I’d fish with him anywhere. He’s a real pro.
