 Langer had already hit 45 shots when he started his back nine |
Bernhard Langer's son Stefan slumped to a 28-over par round of 98 on his European Tour debut in the first round of the Dutch Open. Amateur Stefan ended 31 strokes behind his father, whose 67 put him three strokes behind joint leaders Taichi Teshima and Jean-Baptiste Gonnet.
His card included a seven-over 12 on the second, where he lost two balls.
Meanwhile Briton Andrew Coltart equalled the European Tour's record for nine holes, coming home in 27 shots.
His run of seven birdies from the turn, in a round of 65, was also one less than the tour's record birdie-run.
Stefan Langer shot the third-worst return on the European Tour, but was still behind Briton Mark James' all-time high of 111 in the 1978 Italian Open in Sardinia.
The 17-year-old also shot two triple bogeys and four double bogeys.
Stefan, whose only real tournament experience is on Florida and Germany junior tours, said: "It was discouraging. Tomorrow is going to be a challenge so I'm going to go away and work on some things.
"My chipping and putting was not bad but I've got to improve my driving. I hit only one fairway."
