Adrien Dumont de Chassart records 14th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history
Thursday was historic for Adrien Dumont de Chassart. He shot 11-under 59 during the opening round of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Wichita Open at Crestview Country Club in Kansas, signing for the 14th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history. He's the first player to shoot sub-60 since Frankie Capan III shot 58 last year at the Veritex Bank Championship. Advertisement Dumont de Chassart had 12 birdies on the card and one lone bogey, coming on the par-4 15th. He was 10 under with four holes to play, and he came home with one birdie and three pars to earn his spot in the record book. After the morning wave, he leads by four shots. Crestview Country Club was damaged earlier in the week because of storms in the Wichita area, and the course was closed on Tuesday so crews and Tour officials could clean up the course.

Adrien Dumont de Chassart shoots 59 in Wichita Open for 14th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Adrien Dumont de Chassart of Belgium shot an 11-under 59 on Thursday in the Wichita Open for the 14 sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history. Dumont de Chassart had 12 birdies and a bogey in the morning round at storm-damaged Crestview Country Club, with players allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairways because of wet conditions. 'Honestly, with all the rain and storms that they got, I thought the course was in really good shape,' Dumont de Chassart said. 'Greens were rolling nice. You still got some bounces on the green, which is pretty impressive with all the rain they got. It was ideal, right, 80 degrees, about to be 95 the next two days. Probably blowing about 10 miles per hour max. It was a good day to shoot 59 that's for sure.' The 25-year-old former Illinois player broke the course record of 60 set by Justin Suh in the 2022 final round and matched by Alejandro Tosti in the 2023 final round. Cristobal del Solar set the Korn Ferry Tour record last year with a 13-under 57 in the Astara Golf Championship. Frankie Capan III and Stephan Jaeger have shot 58 on the tour. Dumont de Chassart began play on No. 10, and birdied the first three holes. He birdied No. 14, bogeyed the 15th and birdied Nos. 16 and 17 to get to 5 under. On the front nine, he birdied the first five holes and hit a 6-iron close on the eighth for his final birdie. 'Played really well down the stretch,' Dumont de Chassart said. 'Missed a shorty on 7, but that's what's cool about golf, you feel nervous even on 4-footers, right? So I'm glad I bounced back and hit a really, really good 6-iron on 17, hole 8, to set up an easy birdie.' ___ AP golf:
