Furyk fires a 59

1:26 pm on 15 September 2013

American golfer Jim Furyk has become only the sixth player to shoot a 59 on the elite PGA Tour.

Furyk carded his course-record 12 under par second round at the BMW Championship in Illinois - his epic day included 11 birdies, one bogey and an eagle.

Chicago's proving a happy hunting ground for Furyk - his only major championship win came there in 2003 when he won the US Open at Olympia Fields.
