DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Matt Wallace made nine consecutive birdies Saturday, all of them on the back nine for a 12-under 60 in the DP World Tour Championship.
Wallace had a chance at the only the second 59 in European tour history.
The nine consecutive birdies equal the European tour's best by James Nitties of Australia in the 2019 Vic Open.
Wallace also matched the European best — but not an official record — with 12 birdies in one round.
The rest of the way, two birdies were from 6 feet and the rest were from 3 feet or closer.
