Craig Jones has shot the lowest ever recorded round in Australian professional golf history by carding a 59 on the Queensland Sunshine Tour.
Jones shot 13 under at the Horton Park Golf Club in Maroochydore to take out the Babcock & Brown Horton Park Pro-Am, one of six events on the 2008 FKP Peregian Springs Series.
Jones' round included 10 birdies, two eagles and a bogey.
He birdied every par four on the course, and sunk a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole, a par-five, to secure his place in history.
"When I hit the putt on the last I knew it had a chance and I can't describe the feeling when it went in," said Jones, who will join the Japanese Tour on Sunday.
