Shots of rum fuel Rod's record run

Fueled by a dose of Queensland rum, Rod Pampling sank a 60-foot eagle putt on the 18th green for a course record 10-under-par 61 in the final round of the Australian Open on Sunday.

The 46-year-old, a two-time winner on the US PGA Tour, started the final day well out of contention at 4-over and opened his round inauspiciously with a bogey on the first hole.

But the Australian got that shot back on the second and picked up a further four strokes to reach the turn at even par for the tournament.
