Adrien Dumont de Chassart shoots 59 in Wichita Open for 14th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history
Dumont de Chassart had 12 birdies and a bogey in the morning round at storm-damaged Crestview Country Club, with players allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairways because of wet conditions.
'Honestly, with all the rain and storms that they got, I thought the course was in really good shape,' Dumont de Chassart said. 'Greens were rolling nice. You still got some bounces on the green, which is pretty impressive with all the rain they got. It was ideal, right, 80 degrees, about to be 95 the next two days. Probably blowing about 10 miles per hour max. It was a good day to shoot 59 that's for sure.'
The 25-year-old former Illinois player broke the course record of 60 set by Justin Suh in the 2022 final round and matched by Alejandro Tosti in the 2023 final round.
Cristobal del Solar set the Korn Ferry Tour record last year with a 13-under 57 in the Astara Golf Championship. Frankie Capan III and Stephan Jaeger have shot 58 on the tour.
Dumont de Chassart began play on No. 10, and birdied the first three holes. He birdied No. 14, bogeyed the 15th and birdied Nos. 16 and 17 to get to 5 under. On the front nine, he birdied the first five holes and hit a 6-iron close on the eighth for his final birdie.
'Played really well down the stretch,' Dumont de Chassart said. 'Missed a shorty on 7, but that's what's cool about golf, you feel nervous even on 4-footers, right? So I'm glad I bounced back and hit a really, really good 6-iron on 17, hole 8, to set up an easy birdie.'

Who is JJ Spaun's caddie, Mark Carens, and how much prize money does he get? Salary and earnings details
Mark Carens, JJ Spaun's caddie since April 2021, played a pivotal role in the 34-year-old's historic victory at the 125th US Open at Oakmont Country Club. With the win, Spaun is set to take home a whopping $4.3 million. Born in Wellesley, Massachusetts, Carens began playing golf in his teens. His passion grew during trips with his father to Ireland and Scotland's top courses. He competed professionally, winning the Boston Open in 1993 and 1995, but ended his playing career around 2000 at age 30 after mini-tour action. Carens started caddying in 2002 on the Korn Ferry Tour, transitioning to the PGA Tour. He has worked with players like Aaron Baddeley, Bubba Watson (including the 2010 PGA Championship), Si Woo Kim (2017 Players Championship winner), Brendon Todd, Morgan Hoffmann, and Jonathan Byrd. Mark Carens joined Spaun in April 2021, leading to the golfer's 2022 Valero Texas Open win. Their chemistry was evident at the 2025 Players Championship, where Carens' advice—'Let's stay in the moment'—helped Spaun force a playoff with Rory McIlroy. Spaun's Earnings: JJ Spaun won $4,300,000 for his 1-under par victory, sealed by a 65-foot birdie putt on the 18th. Caddie Share: Standard caddie payouts are 10% for a win, 7% for top-10 finishes, and 5% for other cuts made. As Spaun's caddie for the win, Carens earned $430,000 (10% of $4.3 million). Additional Context: Carens' 2023 reported earnings included $154,800 from Spaun's on-course work and a $120,000 base salary, totaling over $274,800 annually.
