With such a packed schedule, golfers will be vying for top spots, creating a dramatic finish to the season.
Record-Breaking Performance By Cristobal Del Solar
Del Solar achieved this incredible feat by making six birdies and two eagles without any bogeys – talk about a flawless round! He started strong, completing the front nine in just 27 strokes, matching the record for the lowest nine-hole score on the Korn Ferry Tour. Not only did he maintain this stellar performance on the back nine, but he also managed another three birdies and an eagle. What a stunning display!
The Course and Conditions
The course, laid out as a par-70 and measuring 6,254 yards at a high altitude, provided perfect conditions for achieving such remarkable scores due to recent rains. Players were even allowed to play from preferred lies given the soggy greens, which further aided in crafting low scores.
With soft greens and favorable conditions, Del Solar noted that players could use shorter clubs for their approaches, which helped in keeping the scores low. The longest club Del Solar used on the green was a 6-iron, showcasing how meticulous approach shots played into his record-breaking round.
What’s Next for Del Solar?
After this historic achievement, Del Solar now leads the tournament by four strokes but maintains his focus on the upcoming challenges. A former Florida State golfer who turned professional in 2017, he has already notched up four wins on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica circuit and is now looking to leave his mark on the Korn Ferry Tour. As one of the promising rookies from last season, he currently ranks 14th in points for the ongoing season and has a world ranking of 259. One thing’s for sure—golf lovers everywhere will be keeping a close eye on his performance!
