Albers could see his name with Fox's again in the record book this season as he is currently only two rounds behind Fox for the top spot in career par-or-better rounds (54) and is third all-time in career scoring average at 72.59, sitting behind Fox's 72.32 and Jansen Smith's 72.49 mark. Magnus Lomholt also joins in on record chase for career scoring average with a 73.21, currently placing him in fifth all-time.
