- This new record-breaking score exceeded Daly's former personal best by one stroke and surpassed the previous highest score on the PGA Tour Champions set in 1996 by Bruce Crampton during the Greater Grand Rapids tournament.
- During the hole, Daly hit multiple shots into the water, cleared it on his 17th shot onto the green's collar, and completed the hole via an up-and-down to reach 19 strokes.
- Daly was playing alongside Stephen Ames and Angel Cabrera, who led the tournament with a 64, celebrating his 56th birthday, and stood 24 shots better than Daly at the time.
- Daly's score illustrates a rare and extreme high for a single hole in professional golf, entering the record books for the wrong reason and highlighting challenges within his game.
