Chatfield becomes 3rd player this year with 59 on Korn Ferry Tour
OWASSO, Okla. (AP) — Davis Chatfield made an albatross on the par-5 15th and closed with a 30-foot birdie putt for a 12-under 59 in the Compliance Solutions Championship on Thursday, the third player this year with a sub-60 round on the Korn Ferry Tour.
Chatfield played the final five holes at The Patriot Golf Club in 6-under par.
Myles Creighton in the third round and Adrien Dumont de Chassart in the first round each shot 59 in the Wichita Open earlier this year.
It was eighth round of 59 across golf this year. Jake Knapp shot 59 at the Cognizant Classic on the PGA Tour and Sebastian Munoz shot 59 at LIV Golf Indianapolis. There also were three rounds of 59 on the PGA Tour Americas by Philip Barbaree Jr., Brett White and A.J. Ewart.
Chatfield had a two-shot lead over Zecheng Dou, who had a 61.
