Friday at Liv Golf Indianapolis gave one of the most impressive results in Golf – a 59! – in one of the most shocking ways.
Friday at Chathham Hills, Sebastian munoz He was shooting a 12-par 59 wonderful, becoming only the third player in the history of Liv Golf to break the 60th obstacle along with teammate Joaquin Niemann and the great champion Bryson Dechambeau twice.
Munoz’s round was nothing less than extraordinary. That bird 13 of its last 14 holes, a feat that is even more impressive when considering its double fraud in par-4 5. According to Associate pressOf the 15 rounds sub-60s in the history of PGA Tour (and 15 more in the history of the Corn Ferry Tour), ANY has submitted a double double.
At a press conference after his round, Munoz admitted that the mistake could have broken his momentum – but on the contrary, he served as a turning point.
“I have forgiven myself,” he said. “I didn’t want to go on and have a resentment all day. Then I got into Birdie at 6 and just started rolling from there.”
The chip in the par-4 fine turned on the spark-and what followed was nothing less than electric. Munoz shocked 13 birds over his last 14 holes, but it was not until he went down the extension that he realized he could be in the abyss of one of the rounds of his life.
“I think making birds at 16, 17 and 18, they were a little longer. They were not short. I felt like this really made me believe it was possible,” he said once I believed it. “
Standing over his bird blow in the last hole, Munoz understood the importance of the opportunity he faced. A 59 after a round double was not just a reflection of his abilities, it was also a reflection of his mental severity.
Mental sustainability has been in mind for Munoz in 2025. Just a few months ago, he failed to qualify in the US Open after losing a short blow to a play off. In the 18th 18th Friday hole, Munoz’s approach shot it with a short blow that reminds you of that Miss Qualifying. With a 59 on the cards, Munoz looked down and drained it.
“It reminded me of a blow I hit the US open qualification in sections I had a three pedestrian to realize it and miss it, and I felt like I was not all there,” said Munoz, “so I just remembered myself, just staying here in the moment, I continue to breathe, just keep it simple.”
Despite the 59th, Munoz is not taking anything as well as going to the weekend. But he knows that moments like these are rare, and that he must appreciate this extraordinary achievement.
“Really proud of how I treated the day, the beginning of the day and how I just ranked,” he said.
Munoz has now raised his name in the record books of golf – and with a round yet to go, he may not end yet.
