British golfer Scott Jamieson has reportedly missed his chance of making a 'magical 59' on the European Tour after he shot a 60 to move to the top in the leaderboard in the third round of the Portugal Masters on Saturday.
Jamieson, who became the 17th player to shoot a 60 on the European Tour, finished with a 14-under tally of 199 at the Oceanico Victoria course in Vilamoura with 11 birdies and seven pars.
According to Sport24, no player has ever managed to score a 59 on the Tour, adding that Jamieson narrowly failed with his attempt at a record-breaking birdie at the 18th hole when his chip just missed the cup.
The report said that the Scot has only one tour victory to his name, which came at the Nelson Mandela Championship in South Africa in December 2012.
