Kyle Cottam shoots 58 in Canada for record score on PGA Tour Americas

Victoria, British Columbia - Kyle Cottam shattered the PGA Tour Americas record on Saturday, shooting a remarkable 58 at the Digital Commerce Group Open. He nailed his eagle shot from just 108 yards on the 16th hole, propelling him to a 12-under score. This feat marked the second consecutive year for a sub-60 round at Uplands Golf Club, where A.J.

Ewart shot a 59 last year. Cottam's remarkable round featured six birdies in a seven-hole stretch, pushing his front nine score to a stellar 29. He sealed his victory with an eagle on the 16th, followed by a par on the 18th after a tricky uphill putt. The 24-year-old Cottam expressed surprise at his achievement, saying, "I was absolutely surprised.

Obviously, you don’t wake up in the morning and think you’re going to shoot 58." Cottam's 58 ranks as the sixth sub-60 round on the PGA Tour Americas since 2024, including two on the Canadian Tour and one on the Korn Ferry Tour.
