Nicolas Colsaerts blows away field with 60 at Portugal Masters
NICOLAS COLSAERTS narrowly failed to record the European Tour's first round of 59 as he made a blistering start at the Portugal Masters yesterday.
The Belgian almost earned a place in history as a long-range putt on the 18th green at Oceanico Victoria Golf Club in Vilamoura shaved the edge of the hole.
That meant Colsaerts, who hit a European Tour record 447-yard drive last month, had to settle for a first-round 60 but it was still nevertheless a superb opening that put him in charge on 11 under.
