Brilliant. What a great drive down 18, and a superb first putt. So close to a 58.

He looked so calm, but can’t imagine how nervous he must have been.

Update please......

According to Twitter he's done it

FFS though you were talking about Tigger and not some fella playing on a second rate tour!!! 😉😂😂😂

 

[ChipIntoBunker]

Yes, great two putt on the 16th , 17th and 18th

I was nervous just watching it, can't imagine having a sense of composure of telling the caddy on 17th they should just enjoy the last two holes!

Well done Ollie

A commentator made a good point about this a while ago. A 60 on a par 72 course is better than a 59 on a par 70 course yet wont be remembered. One of those landmarks though, well done to him.

Congrats to OF! Saw the last putt, nearly bagged a 58! What a great scorecard.

I know what you mean, but often those par 70's are actually par 72's. They just change two of the par 5's into par 4's.

Also the aim of golf is the lowest score, so 59 is better than 60. Par is just a guide.

It's a par 71, you can't take anything from the man, he knew he was gunning for it a few holes from home and held it together. Just watched a few clips.

Outstanding.

That putt on 16 was superb, great round of golf.

Incredible

Not sure i agree with that, the aim is surely the lowest against par.

I can go round my local 9 hole par 3 in the lower than 72 for two loops pretty much every time. But i don't consider that better than the 80 i've scored on a full course. Par is always relevant imo.

That being said, for the pro's 59 is the elusive figure and i'm sure those that hit it, don't care if its a par 70/1/2.

Irrespective of the par of the course, no one on the ET has ever managed it before so Fisher should be saluted for a fantastic effort

Obviously I am talking about proper golf courses on tour & not your local pitch n putt course

 

[USER1999]

I have played round there a few times, and not come close to a 59.

There are a lot of my golf balls in those ponds though.

That doesn't change the fact that par is relevant. If the pro's and tours agreed with your stance then i'd expect to see tournament leader board based on total shots. Not -/+ to par.

I think they show both
