Matt Wallace birdies EVERY hole on the back nine and makes 3rd round 60
In his third round at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, Englishman Matt Wallace fired an incredible 60. https://x.com/DPWorldTour/status/1725831117368909950?s=20
Matt Wallace broke all match DP World Tour records with his nine consecutive birdies, twelve birdies in a round, and nine-hole score of 27 and nine-hole score to par of nine, but his preferred lies will keep him from being in the record books.
When asked if he had matched the Tour records for the most birdies made in a single round and the most birdies made in a row, Wallace responded, “Equalled? didn’t comprehend! What a fantastic day it was. I’m thrilled that I was able to play well and that I was able to put in my best effort to get back into the tournament”
The 32-year-old’s finish at last week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge was the only thing that got him into the season-ending event. However, he now has the opportunity to win a fifth DP World Tour title, his first since the 2018 Made In Denmark, which was his fourth in 16 months.
He went on, “Yeah, kind of gutted now actually a little bit!” in reference to the possible 59. Great chance to carry it out. Although it’s only a par-68 at Moor Park on the West Course [in Hertfordshire], doing it there today would have been truly memorable. Holding a ball aids. Although I told a few good lies for the up-and-down, it was excellent and well done.
Wallace finished two shots ahead of his closest competitor, Danish player Nicolai Højgaard, at 16 under overall. After concluding the day, he was one stroke ahead of fellow countrymen Tommy Fleetwood and Victor Hovland, who both shot 66s. He was also two strokes ahead of Jeff Winther of Denmark (64) and three ahead of Højgaard (70) and Ewen Ferguson of Scotland (64).
