2006Walker Cup player (2005). European Tour winner. First and only player to shoot a sub-60 round on the European Tour.
Fisher was no stranger to breaking records as an amateur player. In 2005, at age 16, he became the youngest player to compete in the Walker Cup. A year later he became the youngest ever British golfer to secure full playing rights on the European Tour, which he did at Q-School as an amateur ... and then swiftly turned professional.
Despite a relatively modest record on the European Tour, Fisher again wrote his name into the record books, as the first ever player to shoot a sub-60 round on the Tour. Although this was a relatively "common occurrence" on the PGA Tour (achieved at the time by 10 players), Fisher's 59 was the first sub-60 score in European Tour history. He achieved this landmark score in the second round of the 2018 Portugal Masters, at the testing 7,191 yard Victoria Course in Vilamoura, Portugal.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
