Kevin Sutherland may be golf's 861st-ranked player, but he sure didn't play that way on Saturday. The one-time PGA Tour winner set a new Champions Tour single-round record with an improbable 59 on Saturday at the Dick's Sporting Goods Open, according to PGA.com:



A newcomer to the tour, Sutherland turned 50 years of age in July, and this tournament marks just his third start. Needless to say, it didn't take him long to make a name for himself.

Here's a look at Sutherland's scorecard, via Golf Central:



His 28 on the front nine is simply remarkable, but what's even more interesting is the fact that he took a bogey on the final hole of the day. Golf Digest's Mike O'Malley shared his thoughts on Sutherland's peculiar finish:



Justin Ray of the Golf Channel really put Sutherland's incredible day into perspective with this very telling tweet:



After his round, Sutherland spoke with the Golf Channel about his mentality throughout the round, via PGA Tour:



Golf is an extremely mentally taxing game, especially on the professional level, and allowing his mind to wander so early in the round is generally a cause for concern—although, as he mentioned, it all worked out in the end.

Sutherland's brilliant round quickly propelled him to the top of the tournament's leaderboard. After a one-under 71 on Friday and his 13-under finish on Saturday, he's 14 under for the tournament and in great position entering Sunday's final round.

After shooting golf's magic number, Sutherland will certainly be tested by a surging Scott Hoch during the tournament's final round. That's great news for onlookers, as two red-hot golfers paired together on Sunday can produce some exciting results.
