Oliver Fisher became the first man in European Tour history to card a 59 in the second round of the Portugal Masters and the tributes came in thick and fast from Ryder Cup Captains, Major Champions, World Number Ones and beyond.
After 46 years and over 690,000 rounds of European Tour action, the magical 60 barrier was finally breached as Englishman Fisher carded ten birdies and an eagle at Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course.
Congratulations quickly flooded in from his country, his continent and the world, and here we take a look at some of the tributes.
