David Skinns of England missed a 9-foot putt for 59 but was thrilled to shoot a career-best and tournament-record 60 to take the lead after one round of the Sanderson Farms Championship on Thursday in Jackson, Miss.

Skinns teed off on the back nine at the Country Club of Jackson and rolled in six birdies on each nine. After watching a 54-foot birdie putt fall at the par-3 seventh hole, he hit his second shot at the par-4 eighth to about 2 feet to set up his 12th birdie.
