PGA Tour Sanctioned Scoring Record Broken on Korn Ferry Tour with Unreal 57
“Step aside Mr. 58 Jim Furyk, there’s a Mr. 57 in town now.
Cristobal Del Solar carded a 13-under 57 at the Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard Korn Ferry Tour event Thursday. He made it happen on the par-70, 6,254-yard Country Club de Bogota’s Pacos course.
That is the lowest score in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event, and it ties the lowest round shot across any major professional tour worldwide. There was a recorded 57 on the Alps Tour in 2019, per golf statistician Justin Ray.
“I’m just so happy,” Del Solar told GolfChannel.com after his round. “When you go out there, you don’t really think I’m going to shoot 57 today. ... Yeah, man, it was a good round.”
That’s certainly an understatement.
The 30-year-old went out in 27 strokes, tying the lowest nine-hole score in Korn Ferry Tour history. He carded six birdies and an eagle on his opening nine.”
