Potgieter produces second sub-60 score this week in Bogota event

South African teenager Aldrich Potgieter shot the second sub-60 score in as many days with a 59 on the second-tier Korn Ferry Tour in Colombia on Friday.

On Thursday, Chile's Cristobal del Solar fired the record-lowest round in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event on Thursday with a 13-under par 57 in the opening round of the Astara Golf Championship in Bogota, Colombia.

The 19-year-old Potgieter shot 10 birdies, an eagle and a bogey on the same course to finish 11-under-par at the Country Club de Bogota-Pacos.

Already the youngest winner in Korn Ferry Tour history, Potgieter became the youngest to break 60 in a PGA Tour sanctioned event.

The course is the shortest on the Korn Ferry Tour at 6 254 yards, and is almost 9 000 feet above sea level but had never seen a sub-60 score before Thursday.

Potgieter won the Amateur Championship in 2022 at Royal Lytham and St Annes and won last month's Korn Ferry event in the Bahamas.
