Ryo Ishikawa fired a 12-under-par 58 on Sunday, the lowest score ever recorded on a major tour, to win The Crowns event on the Japan Golf Tour.
Ishikawa's 58 broke the tour's record of 59 set by Masahiro Kuramoto in 2003. Al Geiberger, Chip Beck and David Duval each had 59s on the PGA Tour and Annika Sorenstam equaled the mark on the LPGA Tour.
In a 2000 U.S. Open qualifier, Shigeki Maruyama, Saturday's third-round leader, shot a 13-under 58.
Ishikawa, just 18 years old and ranked 47th in the world, opened with rounds of 68-70-71 to trail Maruyama by six shots at the start of the final round.
Ishikawa recorded seven birdies over his first nine holes and picked up two more at 10 and 11. He parred his next two, but birdied three in a row from the 14th to reach 12-under par for the round.
He had a 15-foot birdie chance at the last to shoot the unimaginable 57, but the putt barely missed. Ishikawa tapped in then waited for his seventh Japan Tour title.
Ishikawa finished at 13-under 267 and won by five strokes over Hiroyuki Fujita (66) and Paul Sheehan (68).

I ordered shirts 2 weeks ago. I was told delivery would be 5 business days. When delivery did not meet expected arrival I emailed Team Faddy for information. Your Business Director informed me that my clothing is at a US postal service. However he did not provide a tracking #. I emailed him back asking for one, with no reply.
ReplyDeleteCan someone there help me? Perhaps James is on vacation at the time, would there not be someone else covering his email in his absence?
Your help is appreciated. I look forward to your unique style helping my game (not referring to golf, as that game is hopeless).
Cheers,
