650

VILAMOURA, Portugal, Sept 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – England’s Oliver Fisher
fired the first round of 59 in the European Tour’s 46-year history on the
second day of the Portugal Masters on Friday.

The 30-year-old tapped in for par on the final hole to complete an
astonishing 12-under-par round featuring 10 birdies and an eagle, after his
long birdie putt for a 58 grazed the edge of the hole.

“It feels great, I started great and I kept it going,” Fisher said. “Just
pleased I two-putted from 40 feet on the final green.”
