Shooting a round of 59 in a PGA Tour event is no easy task. In fact, it is so strenuous that only a handful of professionals playing at the competitive level have achieved this feat to date. Recently, Sebastian Munoz came agonizingly close to accomplishing the same at the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson. Instead, his missed chance created another record that has never been achieved before either.

Sebastian Munoz cards a record-breaking round of 60 at TPC Craig Ranch

The young professional carded an opening round of 12-under-par, 60, and dominated the golf course. Moreover, Munoz had to make an eagle on the par 5, 18th hole to shoot a 59. The Colombian professional hit a beautiful drive to the center of the fairway. But his second shot, which he hit with his three-wood from 247 yards, missed the green from the right side.

As a result, he had to chip in for an eagle to do the impossible. However, he left his ball nine feet short of the hole. He made the birdie putt for a round of 12-under-par, 60, but little did he know that his opening round score helped him achieve an unbelievable record. On top of that, he shot an eight-under-par, 28 on the back nine.

This is the second time the World No. 72 shot a round of 60 in the 2022 PGA Tour season. As a result, he became the first professional to record two rounds of 60s in the same season in PGA Tour’s history. The first time he recorded a round of 60 was last November at the RSM Classic at Sea Island. Coincidently, his round of 60 came in the opening round of that event, and he made a birdie on the 18th hole to shoot that round.

175 days later, he repeated the same at TPC Craig Ranch on Thursday on a sunny day. With his spectacular opening round, the 32-year-old professional holds a whopping five-shot advantage as the event heads into the second round. Had Munoz not made a bogey on the eight-hole, he could have gone even lower.

But after the dropped shot, he eagled the par 5 ninth and par 5 12th hole, respectively. As a result, he played the next four holes in six-under-par. The last player to go six-under-par through four holes was Dustin Johnson; he achieved the same in 2020 at the Northern Trust.
