In the shadow of the legendary Players Championship on the PGA Tour, the Asian Tour is playing as part of the International Series Macau. Something historic happened in the third round of the tournament in China: John Catlin from the USA became the first player on the tour to play a round under 60 strokes and recorded the lowest score ever played on the Asian Tour with his round of 59.

Asian Tour: Catlin sets Tour record with ten birdies and an eagle

John Catlin got off to a strong start on the Asian Tour with 67-66 on the first two days. On the moving day, the US-American then caused pure amazement: after seven birdies on the first nine holes, an impressive round was already in the offing, which the 33-year-old completed fantastically on the back nine. Three more birdies took Catlin to the final hole, where he crowned his performance. An eagle on the 18th gave the American the first round of 59 ever played on the Asian Tour – a Tour record!

With 18 strokes under par after three rounds played, Catlin is currently deservedly in first place in the International Series Macau 2024. On Sunday, the US-American will try to defend his lead and crown his record round with the trophy. Catlin was the fourth player this year to break 60, following Joaquin Niemann at the LIV Golf Mayakoba and Cristobal Del Solar and Aldrich Potgieter on consecutive days at the Astara Golf Championship in Colombia on the Korn Ferry Tour. Catlin is a three-time winner on the DP World Tour whose dip in form sent him to the Asian Tour’s Q-School, where his career began. Catlin has won four titles on the Asian Tour.
