Former Alabama golfer Frankie Capan III tied the lowest score in relation to par in the history of the Korn Ferry Tour on Thursday when he carded a 58 in the first round of the Veritex Bank Championship.

Texas Rangers Golf Club is a par-71 layout, giving Capan an opening-round score of 13-under par in the Arlington, Texas, tournament.

Capan’s round broke neatly into a 29 on the front nine and a 29 on the back nine to give the golfer the 13th sub-60 score in the history of the Korn Ferry Tour.

The Korn Ferry Tour is the top development circuit for the PGA Tour.

Capan made the turn on Thursday at 6 under after he ran off birdies on the second, third, fourth and fifth holes, then eagled the par-5 ninth. On the back nine, Capan recorded seven birdies, and he did so consecutively on 10 through 16 before closing with a pair of pars.

Capan’s round broke the course record held by Scottie Scheffler, who is the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world and the winner of the Masters earlier this month.

Capan played at Alabama in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons before transferring to Florida Gulf Coast to complete his college career.

The 24-year-old entered this week’s tournament ranked 30th on the Korn Ferry Tour points list. The top-30 golfers on the Korn Ferry Tour this season will earn PGA Tour cards for next season.
