‘Mr.57′ was born.

The first record of 57 strokes in the history of the PGA Tour was recorded on the Korn Ferry Tour, the second division of the PGA Tour. The protagonist is Cristobal del Solar (30) from Chile. He is a graduate of Florida State University in the United States.

In the first round of the PGA Korn Ferry Tour Astara Golf Championship held at Country Club de Bogota-Pacos (par 70) in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia, on the 9th, Del Solar was 13 under par with 2 eagles and 9 birdies. I scored 57 strokes. Del Solar hit 8 under par and 27 strokes with an eagle and 6 birdies in the first 9 holes, setting the record for the lowest score in 9 holes on the Conterry Tour, and also added an eagle and 3 birdies in the last 9 holes. Del Solar shot an eagle on the 9th hole, a 330-yard par 4 hole, and made an eagle putt after 2-on on the 12th hole, a 550-yard par 5 hole.

The great record also had the advantage of the course.

The competition course is 6,254 yards with a par 70 of the shortest among the competition courses where the Korn Ferry Tour is held, and the golf course is located at 2,743 meters above sea level, so the ball flew farther. The longest club that Del Solar held on this day for his second shot was a 6-iron. The fairway was made narrow and the green difficult, but Del Solar, who had laser-like shot accuracy, could not be stopped. Del Solar took the sole lead, beating the second-place group, who recorded 9 under par and 61 strokes, by 4 strokes.

The first record of 57 strokes on a professional golf tour was 11 under par 57 strokes recorded by David Carey (28, Ireland) at the 2019 Alps Tour Kervino Open, a third-tier European tour. The competition course at the time was a par 68 course.

There were a total of 7 records of 58 strokes. Jim Furyk (PGA Tour), Bryson DeChambeau (LIV Golf), Alex Del Rey (Challenge Tour), Ryo Ishikawa, Seonghyun Kim (Japan Tour), Jason Bourne (Canada Tour), and Stephen Jaeger (Korn Ferry Tour) each scored 58. recorded a hit. In Korea, the only case was that Seong-Hoon Heo hit 58 in the preliminary round of the 16th competition of the 2022 Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Division 2 Srixon Tour, but it was not an official competition.
