No player in the history of the European Tour has ever shot under 60... until today.

Fisher needed a birdie from either of his last two holes - and achieved it on the 17th hole after a nervy five-foot put.

That meant the English star only need a par on the 18th - and crashed a sweet drive down the middle of the fairway to put himself within touching distance.

And he completed it in emphatic fashion with a simple par to go into the clubhouse proud owner of a new golfing record.

All in all, Fisher shot ten birdies, one eagle and seven pars in his mind-boggling round.

Despite the phenomenal round, Fisher is still only tied-second after the second-round.

The Englishman - on an 11-under-par overall - sits behindRicardo Gouveia by one shot going into Saturday's third round.

And Fisher will be looking for a monster payday in Portugal, with the total purse for the tournament sitting at a whopping 1.8million.
