John Catlin becomes first player ever to shoot 59 on the Asian Tour

John Catlin created history during the third round of the International Series in Macau by becoming the first player to shoot 59 on the Asian Tour.

Catlin started the third round four strokes behind the lead but was on another level on Saturday. He picked up six birdies on the front nine, including back-to-back on 5, 6 and 7. On the back nine, he birdied three holes and ended the day with a 20-foot eagle putt on the par-5, 18th.

Three times, players have carded a 60 on the Asian Tour, but no player could breach the 60 mark on the Asian Tour before Catlin. He now aggregates an 18-under and has a two-stroke lead with one round to go.

Earlier this year, he bagged the Asian Tour Card via Qualifying School. Now, he has a real chance of winning his maiden title on the tour in a field featuring heavyweights like Patrick Reed, Carlos Ortiz and Lucas Herbert.

The three-time DP World Tour champion said that he was speechless with his performance in the third round of the International Series in Macau.

"It’s pretty, crazy. It hasn’t totally sunk in yet," he said as per Asian Tour. "Wow. Yeah, the emotions are hitting me for sure. Just everything I’ve been through over the last two years. To be here. It’s pretty special."

Jason Kokrak also had a low round on Saturday, aggregating a 16 under after shooting 8 under 62 in the third round. He was followed by Herbert, who also fired 62, and J.B. Kruger, who carded 66.
