Pro sinks long eagle putt to card 59, the second sub-60 round on PGA Tour Americas this week
Now, on Sunday afternoon, there have been three.
Brett White rolled in a 63-foot bomb for eagle on the par-5 18th at the aptly named Eagle Creek Golf Club in Ottawa, Ontario, during the final round of the Commissionaires Ottawa Open. The putt capped off a 8-under 28 on the back nine, culminating in the third 59 ever posted on the PGA Tour Americas.
It might have been the third ever, but it was the second of the week.
On Saturday, Philip Barbaree — who made headlines when he made the cut at the U.S. Open in an emotional moment with his wife, Chloe, on the bag — also fired a 59 at Eagle Creek. He did it in strikingly similar fashion to White, making eagle on the last to finish with a 28 on the inward nine.

I'm 100 per cent sure I couldn't make it as a professional golfer
Gareth Bale admitted he was '100 per cent sure' that he could not become a professional golfer. The former Real Madrid and Wales star is well known for his love of golf and has cut his handicap from 'three or four' to just 0.1 since retiring from football in January 2023. That has led to suggestions that Bale – who has played on the PGA Tour at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am where footage of him making a brilliant chip from a cart path went viral – could try and make it as a professional golfer, despite having turned 36 earlier this month. 'I'm fully, 100 per cent sure, I can not make it professionally,' Bale told BBC Wales ahead of this week's AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl. 'When you are in golf and you see professional golfers play, compared to even your best stuff, it is nowhere near. 'When I've played with those players and watched them, you really appreciate how good they actually are. 'Never mind just playing with your friends, they are doing it under the most severe pressure, in tournament conditions, in hard weather. 'So there won't be any professional (golf) for me. 'But I love the game. I love watching it, I love growing it.'

Charlie Woods, Tiger's son, competing in Junior PGA Championships at Purdue
This week's 2025 Junior PGA Championships at Purdue's Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex will bring future professional golf stars to central Indiana. It may also bring one of the established greats of the game to West Lafayette as a spectator. Charlie Woods' name appeared on the entry list Sunday for the four-day tournament, which begins Tuesday. He is the son of 15-time PGA major winner Tiger Woods. Tournament organizers typically have held off confirming Woods will appear at events until closer to the start. Charlie Woods is one of 312 golfers — 156 apiece in the boys and girls tournaments — who will compete on the Kampen-Cosler and Ackerman-Allen courses. Past winners include recognizable pro tour names from Inbee Park to Trevor Immelman. Top-ranked competitors for this event include Luke Colton and Giuseppe Puebla on the boys side and Asterisk Talley, Yujie Liu and Anna Fang on the girls. The 16-year-old Woods won the American Junior Golf Association's Team TaylorMade Invitational in May. His father, who won the U.S. Junior Amateur three times, was seen following his son at the same event last week. Tiger Woods has also occasionally served at his son's caddie at tournaments. Tiger Woods also competed in the Junior PGA Championships during his stellar amateur career. He finished runner-up to Chris Couch in 1990. Hellish, beautiful, infuriating, serene: The best 18 single holes of golf in Indiana The family shared a viral moment last year when the son, playing with his father, achieved his first hole-in-one at the PNC Championship. In March, Tiger Woods announced he suffered a ruptured Achilles while training at home for his return to the PGA Tour. Admission is free for the tournament, as is parking at nearby Ross-Ade Stadium. Fans can take golf cart shuttles to the event.
