John Catelyn (USA) has set a record of 59 strokes, called the 'Dream Hit' for the first time on an Asian tour.
Katelyn hit an 11-under 59 with one eagle and nine birdies in the third round of the Asian Tour International Series Macau Championship at the Macau Golf and Country Club (par 70) on the 16th.
Katelyn is the first player to break the 60-shot mark on an Asian tour.
Katelyn scored 59 points with a 6-meter eagle putt at the 18th hole (par 5), the last hole in the third round.
The 33-year-old Katelyn has won four Asian Tours and three European Tours in the past four years.
"Everything that I've been through over the last two years feels special," Catlin said on her Asia tour.
Katelyn led the Macau tournament with a combined 18-under 192 in three rounds.
There have been four 50 hits this year alone.
Joaquin Niemann (Chile) shot 59 at the LIV Golf mayakova tournament, and Christobal del Sola (Chile) and Aldrich Porteter (South Africa) shot 57 and 59 at the conferry tour astara championship, respectively.
