Tom Lewis had 59 dead to rights, but let it slip through his grasp Thursday in the Made in Denmark.
Lewis was 12 under through 13 holes at the par-71 Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort in Farso, Denmark, but played his final five holes in 3 over to shoot 62.
The 25-year-old Englishman was trying to become the first player in European Tour history to card 59 or at least become the 19th player to shoot 60. He did neither.
Lewis started his round on the back nine and birdied seven of nine holes for a 7-under 28.
