"Records are made to be broken," - Mark Calcavecchia at the Candian Open.

Mark Calcavecchia broke the PGA Tour record at the Canadian Open on Saturday by scoring nine straight birdies.

In the misty Saturday morning at Glen Abbey, Calcavecchia started the delayed second round with two pars, then fired off the record breaking nine straight birdies. The putts that gained him the birdies were from 15 feet or closer.

As Calcavecchia's 15-year-old son Eric served as his caddie, he shot a 7-under 65 to finish two rounds at 8 under. Entering the third round Calcavecchia was five strokes behind the leader Jason Dufner and had to wait until Sunday to continue since heavy rain postponed his round.

``The weather is unfortunate,'' Calcavecchia said. ``Two years in a row here.''

The previous record was set by Bob Goalby in his 1961 St. Petersburg Open victory.

Calcavecchia's streak ended when he landed into a greenside bunker and bogeyed No. 8.

Calcavecchia, the 1989 British Open champion and 2005 Canadian Open winner commented ``I think adrenaline kicked in a little bit, even more than it already was,''.

Calcavecchia later went on to say``Records are made to be broken,'' and``Could somebody make 10 in a row? Sure. ... It wouldn't surprise me if some guy whips out 10 birdies in a row sometime this weekend. Really wouldn't. These guys are good.''
