It goes without saying the round was a new course record.

Burke, starting on the first hole, had four birdies and three eagles on the front side for an incredible 10-under par 26.

On the back nine he added a further four birdies and an eagle for a closing 30 which added up to the scarcely believable final score of just 56.

Playing off a +8 handicap (which means he had to ADD eight shots onto his score) his 56+8=64 day amounted to something the rest of us mere mortals could only dream of.
