This freshman just shot the best score in Texas program history

Jordan Spieth never did this.

Neither did Ben Crenshaw, or Scottie Scheffler, or Justin Leonard.

Texas freshman Jacob Sosa, playing in just his fourth career college tournament, fired an 11-under 61 Monday in the first round of the Southwestern Invitational at North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, California. The score wasn't just Sosa's best round of the season by nine shots; it was his career-best, a tournament record, a course record and best of all, it was the lowest round ever shot by a Texas Longhorn, according to Texas' record book.

Gavin Hall, Brandon Stone, David Gossett and Justin Leonard all shared the previous school record, which was 63.
