Introducing Mr 59

Connor McKinney made history at the Gippsland Super 6 by shooting a remarkable 59, marking the first sub-60 score on the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia in its current form since 2005. After a steady 2-under front nine, McKinney finished his round with a stunning 9-under back nine, including seven birdies and an eagle on his final hole. His round catapulted him to 12-under, just 5 shots behind leader Ben Henkel. McKinney’s second-round performance is considered one of the lowest nine-hole scores in Australian golf history.
