Adam Spencson shatters 3M Open record with stunning 60. In a stunning display of skill, Madame Spencson has set a new tournament record at the 3M Open by shooting an incredible 11 underpass 60 during the opening round, placing him two strokes ahead of competitors Sam Stevens and Thorbjon Olsen. This remarkable achievement was capped off with a spectacular 48 ft eagle putt on the final hole, showcasing his exceptional talent and composure under pressure. Svenson’s round included an impressive nine birdies, and he remarkably did not record a single bodhi, marking the lowest score in the 7-year history of this tournament. His performance also tied the course record at TPC Twin Cities, previously established by Paul Goyas 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 tool victory at the RSM Classic in 2022 has faced challenges this season with only one top 25 finished out of 21 starts and 11 missed cuts. Reflecting on his round, Senson expressed his satisfaction with his putting, stating, “I had a great range session today. Just really putted amazing. I made a bunch of breakers. It was probably my best putting mound I ever had. He needed just 25 putts throughout the round, including a nearly 40ft birdie on the 11th hole and a 34-footer on the fourth. His score of 60 is now the second lowest on the PGA Tour this season following Jake Knap’s remarkable 59 at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches back in February. Meanwhile, Sam Stevens had a chance to join the ranks of those who have shot 59, but his attempt was thwarted when he hit his second shot from 246 yds into the water on the par 518 at pole, resulting in his only bogey of the day. And that final score of 62, which still marked his best round on tour. Stevens commented on his decision-making, saying, “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.” In the broader context of the tournament, notable players like Ricky Thala and Amelia Nugrell are among a group of 18 competitors ranked between 60th and 80th in the FedEx Cup standings. They are in urgent need of strong performances to secure their spots in the 70man field for the upcoming playoffs event in just 2 weeks. Fowler entered the league ranked 63rd while Guillo was positioned at 71st. Fowler remarked, “At the end of the day, good golf solved a lot of things.” 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 Yanatan Vegas managed a score of 68. And how Lee, who recently finished tied for fourth at the Open Championship alongside Scotty Shiffller, recorded a one under 70. This tournament is shaping up to be an exciting event, and with such impressive performances already, one can only wonder what the next Browns will bring. Will Senson maintain his lead, or will another player rise to the occasion? What are your thoughts on the strategies employed by these golfers?
