Cristobal Del Solar ties world record with round of 57 at Astara Golf Championship

• Chilean admits he was helped by conditions in Bogota
• 30-year-old makes two eagles during 13-under round

Cristobal Del Solar of Chile set the Korn Ferry Tour record on Thursday with a 13-under 57 in the Astara Golf Championship, the lowest round in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event and matching the record on tours that are part of the Official World Golf ranking.

The 30-year-old, who is ranked 259th in the world, played such a flawless round on the Pacos course at Bogota Country Club that he made par on his final three holes and still shot a 57. He made two eagles, one of them on the 330-yard ninth hole to go out in eight-under 27, tying the Korn Ferry Tour record for nine holes.
