Record-Breaking Round Steals the Spotlight
Eager golf enthusiasts should also keep an eye out for Cristobal Del Solar, who recently set the Korn Ferry Tour buzzing with a remarkable achievement at the Astara Golf Championship in Bogota, Colombia. Del Solar shot a stunning 13-under 57 during the first round, marking the lowest score ever recorded in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event! His round was nothing short of spectacular, featuring six birdies and two eagles, all without a single bogey.
With a par-70 course layout at an altitude of around 8,600 feet, the conditions proved favorable, thanks to recent rain which left the greens soft and inviting for low scores. Del Solar completed his front nine in just 27 strokes, tying the record for the lowest nine-hole score on the Korn Ferry Tour. His power and precision continued on the back nine with additional birdies and an eagle, showcasing his incredible golfing skills.
In a remarkable twist, players were allowed to utilize preferred lies, further boosting the opportunities for achieving low scores. Del Solar’s choice of clubs was also impressive, with his longest being a 6-iron on any of his approaches into the green.
Keeping the Focus on the Prize
Despite stealing the spotlight with his historic round, Del Solar remains grounded, focusing intently on his performance throughout the tournament. It’s important to note, before this unforgettable achievement, the record for the lowest score was 58, held by golfers who performed at their peak in 2016. Currently leading the tournament by a solid four strokes, Del Solar, a former collegiate golfer turned professional in 2017, has his eyes set on even greater accomplishments.
As the Korn Ferry Tour gears up for its exciting new season, the prospects for golf lovers are bright. Mark your calendars and get ready to witness history in the making!
