From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Perfect round)

This article lists the lowest recorded rounds in golf. In professional competition, a round of 59 or less is regarded as a significant achievement.[1] In men's major championships the lowest rounds are 62 by Branden Grace at the 2017 Open Championship, by Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele at the 2023 U.S. Open, by Xander Schauffele and Shane Lowry at the 2024 PGA Championship, and by Lucas Herbert, Sam Burns and Ryan Fox at the 2026 Open Championship. The lowest officially recorded round is 55 by Rhein Gibson in 2012. In women's major championships the lowest round is 60 by Ryu Hae-ran at the 2026 Evian Championship.

Lowest rounds of golf

[edit]

The lowest officially recorded round of golf is 55 by Rhein Gibson (12 birdies, two eagles, on a par 71) on May 12, 2012, at River Oaks Golf Club in Edmond, Oklahoma. This score is recognized by the Guinness World Records.[2]

Three other rounds of 55 are documented, but these are commonly discounted due to the length of the course or the nature of the round.[3] On August 27, 2020, another was added, as Alexander Hughes shot a 55 in Jenks, Oklahoma, within 100 miles of where Gibson had his best day.[4]

Several competitive rounds of 57 have been shot in various events. Possibly the lowest documented round in competitive junior golf is 57, achieved by (among others) Bobby Wyatt in the 2010 Alabama Boys Junior Championship. Alex Ross shot a 57 in the 2019 Dogwood Invitational. Ross's round was 15-under-par for the Druid Hills Golf Club course in Atlanta, and included 13 birdies and one eagle.[5] In February 2024, Cristóbal del Solar shot a round of 57 at the Astara Golf Championship in Colombia on the Korn Ferry Tour. It was the lowest round ever in a PGA Tour sanctioned event.[6] He garnered the nickname "Mr. 57".[7]

Greg Norman, Vijay Singh, Brooks Koepka and Tommy Fleetwood are the only golfers to record two rounds of 63 in the majors.[113]

Perfect round

[edit]

A perfect round is a round of eighteen holes where all holes were played on average at one under par (average of birdie on every hole) resulting in a score of 55 on a par 73 course, 54 on a par 72 course, 53 on a par 71 course, and 52 on a par 70 course.[citation needed]

There is a philosophy popularized by Pia Nilsson's Vision 54 that concentrates on achieving the perfect round, the basic ideology being that striving for perfection results in better scores even if the goal is not met.[118] Cecilia Ekelundh, who formerly played on the Ladies European Tour, did keep the perfect round on her mind by drawing a 54 on the ball she played in competition.[119]
