Korn Ferry Tour pro Myles Creighton shoots 59 with a bogey at the 2025 Wichita Open
A golf pro made history Saturday morning. Myles Creighton became the first Canadian player to ever break 60 on the Korn Ferry Tour. He fired an 11-under 59 in the third round of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open at Crestview Country Club. Advertisement Not only did Creighton shoot 59 — he did it with a bogey. The 29-year-old from Nova Scotia made 12 birdies and just five pars to go along with that one blemish on the par-3 8th hole. He played his final six holes 5 under. And to add to the drama, he needed this chip to fall in for birdie on the 18th to secure the sub-60 round. Oh yeah, and he made an ace Friday. It's already been a fun week for Myles in Wichita, but now he has a chance to cap it all off with a victory. Quade Cummins and Harry Hillier shared the lead at 13 under entering Saturday's third round, but before they could even tee off, they both found themselves two behind the new solo leader, Creighton, who started the day at 4 under, nine shots back, and finished 15 under to enter Sunday firmly in contention. Advertisement Creighton recently competed in his national open — the PGA Tour's RBC Canadian Open — where he shot even par through two days and narrowly missed the cut.

Violent storm hits Wichita golf course set to host Korn Ferry Tour event this week
Mother Nature was a nuisance all weekend at the U.S. Open in Oakmont, but a much more dangerous version struck a different golf event early Tuesday morning. A violent storm seems to have significantly damaged Crestview Country Club and much of the Korn Ferry Tour's infrastructure set up for the 2025 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open, which is scheduled to begin Thursday. Advertisement The storm system — which produced winds stronger than 100mph — knocked down trees and caused widespread power outages across Wichita and the surrounding area, according to KWCH in Kansas. Crestview Country Club has hosted this event every year since 2001. Tom Lehman won the inaugural Wichita Open in 1990, and the tournament has served as a launching pad for several stellar PGA Tour careers, with other past champions like David Duval (1993), Jason Dufner (2001) and Scott Piercy (2008). Taylor Dickson won the 2024 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas Wichita Open. Editor's note: This story's headline had a typo that has been corrected. Golfweek regrets the error.

Adrien Dumont de Chassart records 14th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history
Thursday was historic for Adrien Dumont de Chassart. He shot 11-under 59 during the opening round of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Wichita Open at Crestview Country Club in Kansas, signing for the 14th sub-60 round in Korn Ferry Tour history. He's the first player to shoot sub-60 since Frankie Capan III shot 58 last year at the Veritex Bank Championship. Advertisement Dumont de Chassart had 12 birdies on the card and one lone bogey, coming on the par-4 15th. He was 10 under with four holes to play, and he came home with one birdie and three pars to earn his spot in the record book. After the morning wave, he leads by four shots. Crestview Country Club was damaged earlier in the week because of storms in the Wichita area, and the course was closed on Tuesday so crews and Tour officials could clean up the course.
