HISTORICAL FACTS: Korn ferry tour player eagles final hole to shoot 59 | History Defined

Mac Meissner strikes his tee shot in a blue shirt

A 59 is always special in golf, with just a handful of players managing the incredible feat. Now, at the Korn Ferry Tour’s Lecom Suncoast Classic, Mac Meissner has added his name to that role of honor, with the American eagling his final hole to shoot the magic number.

“It’s my first one ever and to do it in competition is pretty insane,” admitted Meissner following his round. “Based on how yesterday went, I didn’t expect today to go as well as it did. I didn’t hit it great (Thursday), did not putt very well, I was hoping I could just sneak in the cut and ended up shooting 59, so, I mean, definitely a little bit shocked right now."
