Myles Creighton has a 59 for another sub-60 around at the Wichita Open
Adrien Dumont de Chassart had a 59 in the opening round at Crestview Country Club.
Creighton had 12 birdies and one bogey, on the par-3 eighth hole. Crestview is 6,910 yards and plays to a par 70, with both par 5s just over 500 yards and two of the par 4s measuring at under 350 yards.
It was the second time in two years at a Korn Ferry Tour event that two players had sub-60 rounds in the same week. Cristobal Del Solar of Chile set the Korn Ferry Tour record with a 57 in the opening round of the Astara Golf Championship in Colombia. The next day, Aldrich Potgieter of South Africa shot 59. Neither went on to win the tournament.
There have 18 sub-60 rounds on tours around the world since 2023, including a 59 on the PGA Tour this year by Jake Knapp at the Cognizant Classic.

Kingsley Coman joins Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix at Al-Nassr in transfer from Bayern
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Kingsley Coman is leaving Bayern Munich after a trophy-filled decade to join up with Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. Bayern announced the transfer late Friday. The French winger, a Champions League winner with Bayern in 2020, will be part of a star-studded forward lineup with Ronaldo, fellow new signing João Félix and Coman's former Bayern teammate Sadio Mané. Al-Nassr is looking to improve after finishing third in the Saudi Pro League last season and signed Ronaldo to a two-year contract extension in June. Coman's departure from Bayern comes two weeks after the German champion signed Luis Díaz from Liverpool, intensifying Coman's competition for places. He got a fond farewell from Bayern coach Vincent Kompany after they won the Bundesliga together last season. 'When a player as successful as him leaves the club, it's always a bit emotional,' Kompany said earlier Friday. Thursdays Keep up to date on sports with Mike McIntyre's weekly newsletter. 'You have to have understanding for his position in this situation and what he'd like. For me, what's important now is that we look forward and that we show a lot of respect for Kingsley Coman, for what he's done for this club.' Coman won the German title nine times at Bayern since his initial arrival on loan from Juventus in 2015. Despite that success, the 29-year-old winger struggled for playing time last season and was often used as a bench player by Kompany, even before Díaz's arrival. Coman had nine goals in 45 games in all competitions last season and is the second experienced Bayern forward to leave after Leroy Sané departed for Turkey's Galatasaray on a free transfer, also after lacking game time. ___ AP soccer:

Brewers activate All-Star rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski from injured list
CINCINNATI (AP) — Milwaukee Brewers rookie pitcher Jacob Misiorowski has been activated from the injured list after missing about 2 1/2 weeks with a left tibia contusion. The move potentially clears the way for the All-Star right-hander to pitch in the NL Central-leading Brewers' series opener Friday at Cincinnati as they attempt to earn a 13th straight victory, which would match the longest winning streak in franchise history. The Brewers won their first 13 games in 1987.
