Korn Ferry Tour pro Myles Creighton shoots 59 with a bogey at the 2025 Wichita Open
A golf pro made history Saturday morning.
Myles Creighton became the first Canadian player to ever break 60 on the Korn Ferry Tour. He fired an 11-under 59 in the third round of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open at Crestview Country Club.

Not only did Creighton shoot 59 — he did it with a bogey.
The 29-year-old from Nova Scotia made 12 birdies and just five pars to go along with that one blemish on the par-3 8th hole. He played his final six holes 5 under.
And to add to the drama, he needed this chip to fall in for birdie on the 18th to secure the sub-60 round.
Oh yeah, and he made an ace Friday.
It's already been a fun week for Myles in Wichita, but now he has a chance to cap it all off with a victory.
Quade Cummins and Harry Hillier shared the lead at 13 under entering Saturday's third round, but before they could even tee off, they both found themselves two behind the new solo leader, Creighton, who started the day at 4 under, nine shots back, and finished 15 under to enter Sunday firmly in contention.

Creighton recently competed in his national open — the PGA Tour's RBC Canadian Open — where he shot even par through two days and narrowly missed the cut.
