Colsaerts agonisingly close to magical 59

Nicolas Colsaerts left his putt on the 18th "hanging" as he just missed out on firing the European Tour’s first round of 59 at the Portugal Masters.

The Belgian almost earned a place in history as an 18-foot putt at Oceanico Victoria Golf Club in Vilamoura shaved the edge of the hole.

That meant Colsaerts, who hit a European Tour record 447-yard drive last month, had to settle for a first-round 60, still a superb opening round that put him in charge on 11 under.
