Adrien Mörk (born September 19, 1979 in Montbéliard , France ) is a French professional golfer on the European Challenge Tour . He is the first golfer in the history of European professional tournament series to complete a round of under 60 strokes, namely a 59.

Mörk achieved this dream result on May 26th, 2006 at the second round of the Morocco Open , at the Golf du Soleil (par 71) course in Agadir. He recorded an eagle , twelve birdies , four pars and a double bogey on his scorecard , which cost him the absolute best in the world. Up until then, three players on the North American PGA TOUR could also book a round of 59, Al Geiberger (1977), Chip Beck (1991) and David Duval (1999). The 19 birdies that Mörk was able to achieve in the first two rounds of the tournament represent a world best. After two weaker final rounds, he ultimately won the event by just one stroke.

Because of this achievement Adrien Mörk received an invitation to a European Tour event, the Austrian Open 2006, but could not survive the cut there . After another victory on the Challenge Tour, he reached 20th place in the annual ranking and thus qualified for the European Tour of the 2007 season. At the end of the season he finished there 271st place in the European Tour Order of Merit and missed the further eligibility to play clearly.
