Fisher nets course record at European Open

England’s Ross Fisher continued to make it a week to remember when he began the European Open with a spectacular nine-under-par 63 at The London Club in Kent.

Three days after finishing joint third in the Open Championship qualifier at Sunningdale, the 27-year-old finished with six successive birdies to break the course record set by Seve Ballesteros in 1984 when he played in the official opening with designer Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin.
