Yuta Sugiura Shoots 58, Joins Korn Ferry Tour's Sub-59 Club

Yuta Sugiura shot a 12-under 58 in Saturday's third round of the Korn Ferry Tour's Compliance Solutions Championship, becoming only the fourth player in tour history to break 59. The 25-year-old carded the round at The Patriot Golf Club after opening the week with rounds of 69 and 66.

How did Sugiura's 58 unfold?

Sugiura made the turn in 29, opening with back-to-back birdies before three pars and another gain carried him through his first nine holes. He added an eagle on the next hole, a par 5, then absorbed a lone bogey on the following par 4. An immediate birdie steadied him, and four birdies in his final five holes closed out the round, including a tap-in par at the last for 58.

The score joins Sugiura with Stephan Jaeger and Frankie Capan III as the only players to break 59 on the Korn Ferry Tour. Cristobal del Solar holds the outright record, a 13-under 57 at the 2024 Astara Golf Championship, where he finished fifth. Sugiura's 58 was also the third sub-60 round on tour in 2026 and the 19th in tour history.

Who else went low on Saturday?

Scoring conditions were soft across The Patriot Golf Club, with preferred lies and calm weather in play. William Sides and Ross Steelman each carded 60, and Sides lipped out his final putt, narrowly missing a round that would have matched Sugiura's company. Five of the top seven players through 54 holes shot 60 or 61.

Trent Phillips leads the tournament at 21-under, one shot ahead of Carson Young, with six players tied for third at 18-under. Sugiura's round moved him to 17-under and a share of eighth, four strokes back heading into the final round of the tour's penultimate event of the season.
