In only his second career start on the PGA Tour Americas, 23-year-old Caden Fioroni just authored the kind of highlight most pros wait a lifetime for — or never achieve at all.
The former UNLV standout delivered a walk-off albatross to close out a blistering opening round at the Bromont Open on Thursday, setting a new course record with a jaw-dropping 10-under-par 60.
Let that sink in: second start, walk-off albatross, course record.
From Sub-60 Watch to Instant Golf Legend
Fioroni was dialed in from the start at Golf Château-Bromont. After going 8-under through 15 holes, the whispers of a possible 59 began. A bogey on his 16th hole (the par-4 seventh) briefly derailed the chase, but only briefly.
On his final hole of the day — the par-5 ninth — Fioroni found the fairway with his tee shot. What happened next instantly turned a great round into a legendary one. His approach from 236 yards found nothing but the bottom of the cup. An albatross. A course record. And a celebration you absolutely need to see to believe.
A Rookie Rocketing Up the Ranks
Fioroni, who was named a third-team All-American as a senior at UNLV, is wasting no time in proving he belongs at the next level. This isn’t just a hot round — it’s a statement.
While there’s still a tournament to play and pressure ahead, this performance all but guarantees a solid paycheck and a boost in status as he continues climbing the professional golf ladder.
Captured on Camera, Etched in Memory
The only thing better than the shot itself? The fact that someone caught it on video.
Fioroni’s reaction — a mix of disbelief, joy, and full-body adrenaline — says it all. You don’t script moments like this. You just live them — and for Fioroni, this is a career-launching moment he’ll never forget.
From All-American to overnight headline-maker, Caden Fioroni just put the golf world on notice.
