Matt McCarty delivered a career-best round of 60 at the Baycurrent Classic in Yokohama, Japan, starting the day 13 shots behind the leader and impressively birdying every hole on the front nine.

Despite his exceptional performance, McCarty was thwarted from tying the PGA Tour record of 58 due to a costly mistake on the final hole, where he believed his shot hit a tree and kicked into a forest area, resulting in a penalty and a bogey.

McCarty expressed frustration about the final hole, describing it as a 'tough way to finish a really good day' and noting that he was 'a little tight' and tried to guide his shot too much.

Although McCarty's overall round was highly praised, he felt a sense of disappointment and described the experience as strange, given how well he played but still missed a significant opportunity.

He highlighted the emotional contrast between his excellent score and the missed chance, emphasizing the frustration of playing so well yet ending with a sense of unfulfilled potential.
