DAVID CAREY WROTE his name into the record books with a sublime 57 at the Cervino Open on the Alps Tour.
Carey’s card showed 11 birdies in Thursday’s blemish-free round in Italy and he was leading the 54-hole tournament by four strokes.
The Irishman’s score is one better than Jim Furyk’s PGA Tour best of 58, the same number achieved by Stephan Jaeger and Ryo Ishikawa on the Web.com Tour and Japan Golf Tour respectively.
Carey, starting at the 10th, went out in just 27 strokes and picked up four more birdies on his way home.
Cannot believe this, absolutely devastated. Rallying has lost a special, special person.
Desperately sad news. I remember sitting in Craig’s car when I was younger during the rally of the lakes thinking life can’t get any better than this. A legend, and a gent. RIP.
@Seán O’Sullivan: lovely story, the best part being it wasn’t lost on him how much joy that would have brought to a young rally fan, coz he was probably also thinking life doesn’t get better than this. Taken way too soon, but through his infectious positivity and heartwarming raw emotion, he experienced more happiness than most of us could wish for, I’m just glad that I got to feed off some of that. Rally Finland in 2016 was just so brilliant, he never let the politics dampen his enthusiasm for his passion, rest easy Craig.
Rip
Oh my god I am heartbroken, rip Craig, rest easy up there with Jaffa.
Absolutely devastating news, he has been a great ambassador for Ireland and motorsport. A really talented driver and a really decent person. Condolences to his family and friends, he’ll be a massive loss to the motoring community. RIP.
A true great gone, can’t believe it
