Ryo Ishikawa shoots 58 to win Japan Tour event
An amazing golf score by Ryo, but please note that the course was only 6,545 yards, about the same length off the tee that I play every month in the Grapevine Golf Association tournaments.
via PGATOUR.COM – Ryo Ishikawa shoots 58 to win Japan Tour event.
Ryo Ishikawa shot a 12-under 58 — the lowest score ever on a major tour — to win The Crowns on Sunday for his seventh Japan Tour title.
The 18-year-old Ishikawa tapped in for par on the par-4 18th after his 15-foot birdie try slid inches by the cup. He had 12 birdies in his bogey-free round on the 6,545-yard Nagoya Golf Club course.
“I always dreamed of getting a score like this but didn’t think I would do it so fast,” Ishikawa said. “It hasn’t really sunk in yet, but I’m sure it will after a few days.”
