Adam Spenson shoots record-breaking 60 at 3M Open PGA Tour highlights. In a stunning display of skill, Adam Spencson has set a new tournament record at the 3M Open by shooting an incredible 11 underpar 60 during the opening round, placing him two strokes ahead of competitors Sam Stevens and Thorbjorn Olison. This remarkable achievement was capped off with a spectacular 48 foot eagle putt on the final hole, showcasing his exceptional talent and composure under pressure. Spenson’s round included an impressive nine birdies, and he remarkably did not mour a single bogey, marking the lowest score in the 7-year history of the tournament. His performance also tied the course record at TPC Twin Cities, previously established by Paul Goyos during the 2017 3M Championship on the PGA Tour Champions. Despite this outstanding performance, Senson’s journey on the PGA Tour has been a mix of highs and lows. The 31-year-old Canadian golfer who claimed his first tour victory at the RSM Classic in 2022 has faced challenges this season with only one top 25 finish out of 21 starts and 11 missed cuts. Reflecting on his round, Svenson expressed his satisfaction with his game, stating, “I had a great range session today. Just really putting amazing. I made a bunch of breakers. It was probably my best putting round I ever had. He needed just 25 putts throughout the round, which included a nearly 40ft birdie on the 11th hole and a 34-footer on the fourth, highlighting his exceptional putting skills. His score of 60 is now the second lowest on the PGA Tour this season with Jake Nef has holding the record for the lowest score of 59 achieved at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches back in February. Meanwhile, Sam Stevens had a chance to join the ranks of those shooting in the 50s, but fell short after his second shot on the par 51 18th hole landed in the water, resulting in a bogey and a final score of 62. I have a pretty big gap between my three iron and my 3-wood, and I hit a terrible shot. I thought if I hit a 3-wood, it was just going to fly to the back of the green and I kind of had to hit a three iron perfect to even cover the water. But I figured that was my best chance to shoot 59, so I gave it a go, he explained, reflecting upon his decision-making during the round. In the broader context of the tournament, notable players like Ricky Fowler and Ameliano Gillo are among a group of 18 competitors ranked between 60th and 80th in the FedEx Cup standings. They are in dire need of strong performances to secure their spots in the 70man field for the upcoming playoffs event in just two weeks. Fowler entered the week ranked 63rd while Guillo was positioned at 71st. Fowler remarked, “At the end of the day, good golf solves a lot of things.” Emphasizing the importance of strong play in the current competitive landscape. Other players in the mix included Patrick Rogers and Gary Woodland who both shot 67, while Keith Mitchell ranked 70th, finished with a score of 68. Cam Davis ranked 65th, ended the day with a 71. Defending champion Jonathan Vegas managed a score of 68. And Haoong Lee, who recently finished tied for fourth at the Open Championship alongside Scotty Shuffler, recorded a one under 70. As the tournament progresses, the excitement builds. Will Spinson maintain his lead or will another player rise to the occasion? What are your thoughts on the performances so far? Join the conversation in the comments below. Adam Senson’s shocking collapse at 3M Open from first to the cutline. In a stunning turn of events, Adam Senson, who was on fire just yesterday, found himself in a precarious position on Friday, barely scraping through to make the cut at the 3M Open. Thursday was a day of glory for Spencen with an impressive eight birdies and an eagle. All thanks to a putter that was on fire, performing better than it ever had in his career. But here’s where it gets controversial. Friday was a different story. Senson’s game took a shark downturn with only one birdie, three bogeies, and a double bogey at the par4 second hole. His only saving grace was a birdie at the watery par 518th halfway through his round after starting on the 10th hole. And this is the part most people miss. Despite his struggles, Spenzin’s 36 hole score of seven underpar 135 was just enough to make the cut, placing him alongside gulving giants like Ricky Fowler and US Open champion Gary Woodland. Former champions Jonathan Vegas and Cameron Champ also managed to make the cut, albeit by the skin of their teeth. But it wasn’t all good news. Notable names like Tony Fenel, a former 3M open champ, Ha Tong Lee, Web Simpson, Keith Mitchell, Zack Johnson, Sahif Figela, Siu Kim, Maverick McNeely, and another former 3M open chev Lee Hajes failed to make the cut, leaving many to question the unpredictability of the sport. Frankie Kappen’s wrist wos. North Oak’s Frankie Kappen III was forced to withdraw from the tournament, citing a wrist injury after a disappointing 7 over 78 in Thursday’s first round. This was a blow for Kappen, who had high hopes for the tournament. Minnesotan connections. Other players with ties to Minnesota also faced challenges. New Mexico golfer Carson Herren, the son of Tim Herren, shot 72 and 70, missing the cut despite playing on a sponsor’s exemption. Fargo’s Tom Hog with scores of 74 and 78 found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard among those who completed the Browns. Eric Vanroyan, a former Gopher, improved on Friday compared to Thursday, but his scores of 7568 were not enough to make the cut, leaving many to ponder what could have been. The round of the day, Sweden’s Alex Norin stole the shell with a 9 under 62 featuring nine birdies, an eagle, and two bogeies. This impressive performance catapulted him 86 spots up the leaderboard, tying him for eighth place. A Ryder Cup contender choice, Sam Burns, a UF team member for the 2023 Rder Cup, currently ranked 21st in the FedEx Cup playoffs and aiming for the top 30 for the Tour Championship in Atlanta, was a surprising sight in Minnesota. With most players fighting to make the top 70 to advance in the playoffs, Burns presence raised eyebrows. But Burns had his reasons. I like the golf course and it fits well in the schedule, he explained. It just makes sense. Burns also praised Tracy West, the executive vice president of ProLink Sports who oversees the 3M Open and other PGA Tour events. She does an incredible job. Burn said, “I like to be able to support her and 3M. It’s a well-run tournament with a great sponsor, and we’re fortunate to have them, so it’s nice to come back and enjoy a great golf course. Family time for Olison. Another player of Olison, didn’t you think the extra rest helped him prepare for the return to the States? I don’t think so, he said. But the bonus was that my family was there, so I got to spend some quality time with my kids and explore the island, which was pretty nice. It’s a beautiful
