A Record-Breaking Performance
Del Solar’s feat was nothing short of spectacular—he blasted his way through the course with six birdies and two eagles while avoiding bogeys altogether. His front nine sets the stage with an impressive 27 strokes, matching the record for the lowest nine-hole score on the Korn Ferry Tour. Minutes later, he continued his momentum on the back nine, adding three more birdies and another eagle to his scorecard.
A Perfect Course for Low Scores
The par-70 course, measuring 6,254 yards at about 8,600 feet above sea level, created a prime environment for lower scores. Thanks to recent rain, the greens were soft, providing fantastic playing conditions. In addition, the wet conditions allowed players to choose preferred lies, giving them the chance to use shorter clubs for their approaches into the greens. Del Solar noted that even a 6-iron was the longest club he needed to use into the greens!
Looking Ahead
Before his phenomenal round, the record for the lowest score in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event stood at 58, shared by two other pro players in 2016. Now, with Del Solar leading the tournament by four strokes, he looks to keep up this incredible performance as the events continue. Despite the historic achievement, he remains level-headed, focused on the tournament’s outcomes.
Del Solar’s journey started as a Florida State golfer, and he turned professional back in 2017, celebrating four victories on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica circuit. Now, as a Korn Ferry Tour rookie, he currently stands 14th in points for the ongoing season and holds a world ranking of 259. With the 2025 season promising thrilling events and a record-breaking achievement already on the board, the golf world has a lot to look forward to!
