Adams Fenson sets 3M open record with incredible 60 round one highlights and reactions. Imagine setting a tournament record with a jaw-dropping 60 in the opening round. Adam Spencson did just that, securing a twoshot lead over Sam Stevens and Thorbian Olison at the 3M Open. But here’s where it gets controversial. Senson’s incredible performance included a 48T Eagle putt on the final hole, marking the lowest round in the tournament’s 7-year history and tying the TPC Twinities course record set by Paul Goyos in 2017. Spenson’s day was nothing short of spectacular, featuring nine birdies without a single bogey. His lone PGA Tour victory to date is the 2022 RSM Classic. The 31-year-old Canadian has had a mixed season with just one top 25 finish in 21 starts and 11 missed cuts. “I had an outstanding range session today. My putting was phenomenal. I made several crucial breakers. It might have been my best putting round ever,” Spinson remarked, highlighting his efficiency with just 25 putts, including a near 40ft birdie on the 11th and a 34-footer on the fourth. His career best 60 is only second to Jake Knap’s 59 at the Cognizant Classic earlier this season. Stevens, meanwhile, narrowly missed a 59, finishing with a 62 after a bogey on the 18th. I have a significant gap between my three iron and 3-wood. I chose the three iron, but it was a poor shot. I thought the 3-wood might overshoot, so I took a chance with the three iron, he explained. Players like Fowler and Gillow, ranked 60th to 80th in the FedEx Cup standings, are under pressure to perform well to secure spots in the upcoming playoffs. Fowler, currently at number 63, and Grill at number 71, know that exceptional golf can resolve many issues. Rogers, Woodland, Mitchell, and Davis also had notable rounds with scores ranging from 67 to 71. Defending champion Janat in Vegas managed a 68 while Tongli fresh from a tie for fourth at the open championship shot a one under 70. And this is the part most people miss. The dynamics of these rankings and performances could dramatically shift the FedEx Cup standings. Do you think Senson’s record-breaking start will propel him to victory or will the pressure of the playoffs affect the top contenders? Share your thoughts in the comments. Adam Spenson’s traumatic turnaround at the 3M Open. From hot to barely making the cut, golf can be a game of wild swings. One day you’re on top of the world and the next you’re fighting just to stay in the tournament. Adam Spencson’s roller coaster at the 3M Open is a perfect example of this unpredictable ride. If you think consistency is the name of the game, Swenson’s story might make you think twice. On Thursday, Senson was absolutely electric, lighting up the course with eight birdies and a spectacular eagle. He credited his red hot putter, saying it had never performed better in his entire career. But here’s where it gets controversial. Just 24 hours later, that magic seemed to vanish. Senson managed only a single birdie while racking up three bogeies and a double bogey on the par4 second hole. His only bright spot came at the watery par 51 18th where he finally carded a birdie after starting his round on the back nine. Despite the dramatic drop in performance, Senson’s 2-day total of seven under par 135 was enough to make the cut. He found himself in good company tied with big names like Ricky Fowler and US Open champion Gary Woodland. Past champions Janet in Vegas and Cameron Champ also sweeped through, making the cut by just a single shot. But here’s the part most people miss. Some major SARS didn’t make it to the weekend. The minus5 cut line claimed several high-profile casualties, including former 3M Open winner Tony Theo, Hal Tong Lee, Webb Simpson, Keith Mitchell, Zack Johnson, Sahala, Sai Wu Kim, Maverick McNeely, and another past champ Lee Hodgeges. It’s a stark reminder that even the best can stumble when a pressure is on. In a surprising twist, local favorite Frankie Kappen III from North Oaks had to withdraw after posting a 7 over78 in the opening round, citing a wrist injury. It’s a tough broke for any athlete, especially when playing in front of a home crowd. Other players with Minnesota ties also face challenges. Carson Herren, son of PGA veteran Tim Herren and representing New Mexico, shot rounds of 72 and 70, but missed the cut despite receiving a sponsor’s exemption. Meanwhile, Fargo’s Tom Hog struggled mightily, finishing last among those who completed both rounds with scores of 74 and 78. Former University of Minnesota standout Eric Vanroy improved on Friday with a 68 after a disappointing 75 on Thursday, but it still wasn’t enough to advance. And but let’s talk about the round that had everyone buzzing. Sweden’s Alex Nolan delivered a jaw-dropping 9 under 62 featuring nine birdies, an eagle, and two bogeies. This incredible performance catapulted him up 86 spots on the leaderboard, landing him in a tie for H. It’s the kind of round that can change the entire momentum of a tournament and spark plenty of debate about what it takes to go lull under pressure. And this is the part that might surprise you. Not every top ranked player is here just to chase points. Sam Burns, a member of the 2023 US Rider Cup team and currently ranked 21st in the FedEx Cup playoffs and 22nd in the world, chose to play in Minnesota even though he’s already in a strong position for the Tour Championship in Atlanta. Why I like the golf course. It fits my schedule, Burns explained. He also praised Tracy West, the executive vice president of ProLink Sports and the 3N Open’s reputation for being exceptionally well-run. They’re a great spicer and we’re fortunate to have them. It’s nice to be able to come back and enjoy a great golf course. Family time also played a role for some players. Thor von Olison, for example, said that while extra rest didn’t necessarily help his game, the real bonus was spending time with his kids and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. Sometimes the personal moments off the course matter just as much as the scores on it. So, what do you think? Is it fair that a single bad round can knock out even the biggest names? Should more top players follow Sam Burns lead and play for the love of the game, not just the points? Or does the cutline add the drama that makes both so compelling? Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Do you agree with how the tournament played out or do you see it differently? Let the debate begin.
