1. Adam Svensson’s Epic 60: Shatters 3M Open Record and Leads the Pack
Adam Svensson stunned the golf world with an 11-under 60 at the 3M Open, featuring a dramatic 48-foot eagle putt on the final hole. This score not only gave him a one-shot lead over Sam Stevens and Thorbjorn Olesen but also tied the TPC Twin Cities course record set by Paul Goydos in 2017.
Svensson’s round included nine birdies and no bogeys, marking his best putting performance ever with just 25 putts. Highlights include a nearly 40-foot birdie on the 11th and a 34-footer on the fourth hole. This 60 is the second-lowest score on the PGA Tour this season, behind Jake Knapp’s 59 at the Cognizant Classic.
Other notables from the first round: Chris Gotterup, fresh off a third-place finish at the British Open and a win at the Scottish Open, sits three shots back along with Chad Ramey and Matti Schmid. Players like Zac Blair, Chris Kirk, Jake Knapp, and Brendan Valdes are at 7 under, while Rickie Fowler and Emiliano Grillo are among those at 6 under, battling for FedEx Cup playoff spots.
Svensson, a 31-year-old Canadian with one PGA Tour win at the 2022 RSM Classic, has had a tough season but showed his potential today. Sam Stevens came close to a 59 but bogeyed the 18th after a risky shot into the water. With the FedEx Cup standings tight, performances like these could shake up the leaderboard heading into the playoffs.

Adam Spenson’s Epic 60 shatters 3M Open record and leads the pack. Huge breakthrough. Adam Spenson has just rewritten the 3M Open record books with an electrifying opening round. But here’s where it gets controversial. Adam Spencson delivered a masterclass in precision and nerves on Thursday at TPC Twin Cities, draining a 48 ft eagle putt on the 18th to cap an astonishing 11 under par 60. That score not only established a new tournament low in the 3M Open’s seven-year history, but also matched the course record set by Paul Goyos in 2017 on the PGA Tour Champions. Spenson’s mound included nine birdies and zero drop shots, giving him a twoshot cushion over San Stevens and Thorbjorn Olison. And this is the part most people miss. He needed just 25 putts all day, including a nearly 40-footer on number 11 and a 34ight birdie attempt on number four. Trailing Spencent by three strokes at eight under were Chris Gddup, fresh off a third place finish at the British Open and a win at the Scottish Open, as well as Chad Remy and Germany’s rising star Mattie Schmid. One stroke further back, another quintet, Zack Blair, Chris Kirk, Jake Knap, and Brendan Valdez are eager to chase down the leader. Fan favorites Ricky Fowler, and Ameliano Grill carded six under rounds as part of the larger group sitting in that mix. Spenson’s lone PGA Tour victory to date came at the 2022 RSM Classic, and until this week, he’s managed just one top 25 result in 21 starts, missing 11 cuts in the process. I had a great range session, then putted amazing, said the 31-year-old Canadian. It was probably the best putting round I’ve ever played. His 60 ranks as the second lowest score on the PGA Tour this season, trailing only Jake Knap’s 59 at February’s Cognizant Classic. Sam Stevens delivered a sizzling 62 that could have been a 59 of his own. Standing on the 18th TE at eight under, he aimed for Eagle on the reachable par five, but watched his second shot from 246 yards ricochet off the front green and into the water. That mishap led to his alone bogey and a final score of nine under. There’s a big gap between my three iron and three wood. Stevens explained, “I mis hit the iron and paid the price, but honestly, I felt that was my best chance to make 59.” Meanwhile, Ricky Fowler, number 63 in the FedEx Cup, and the Milliana Grill, number 71, are part of an 18 player log jam between 60th and 80th place. And they need a strong week to secure a spot in the 70man playoff field. At the end of the day, good golf solves a lot of things, Fowler observed. Further down the leaderboard, Patrick Rogers 66th and Gary Woodland 78th, each shot 67. Keith Mitchell lurking in 70th carded a 68 while Australia’s Cam Davis 65th struggled to a 71. Defending champion Honatan Vegas posted a solid 68 and Haong Lee fresh off a top five finish alongside Scotty Shuffler at the British Open finished at 1 under 70. Now we want to hear from you. Was Spenson’s Eagle on 18 the best closing shot you’ve ever seen? Do you think Stevens was too aggressive going for 59? And should the FedEx Cup cutoff really loom that large in a weak strategy? Share your thoughts below. Let the debate begin. 3M Open highlights. Thorjan Olison leads after thrilling round two PGA Tour updates. Imagine waking up to find yourself at the top of the leaderboard in a major PGA Tour event only to face the daunting task of defending that position over the weekend. That’s exactly where Thorbian Olison finds himself after two rounds of the 2025 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. Despite making a bogey and a double bogey on Friday, Olison’s game is firing on all cylinders thanks to eight birdies that propelled him to a 5under 66 and a two round total of 12 under par. But here’s where it gets interesting. Jake Knap, a player who’s been knocking on victory all year, is right on Oly’s heels. Knap carded a bogey-free 65 on Friday to sit at 13 under par, just one shot behind the Danish golfer. This marks Napsk’s second PGA Tour win bid of the year, and he’s eager to etch his name in the record books. Let’s dive deeper into the leaderboard to see who else is in contention. Thorbian Olison leading the pack at 14 under par after two rounds. Despite his experience, 10 top 10 finishes and two top fives, his first PGA Tour win remains elusive in his 94th start. Jake Knap solo second at 13 underpar looking to secure his second PGA Tour title since 2024. Pearson and Cody and Sam Stevens tied for third at 12 underpar. Chris Kirk, Mattie Schmid, and Tkumi Hanaya sharing fourth place at 11 under par. The competition is fierce with a 10-way tie for eighth place at 10 under par featuring notable players like Windham Clark and Chris Godarup who recently claimed a third place finish at the British Open. Some big names didn’t make the cut including Tony Fenel, Nick Dunlap, Sunjaim, Siw Kim, and Sah Fagala. But there are plenty of stories to tell among those who did make it. Take Max Homa for instance. Starting the day one over par, he turned things around with consecutive birdies on holes six and seven, then 12 and 13, putting him at nine under par and in a tie for 15th place. And what about Chris Gotup? Less than a month ago, he was relatively unknown in the golf world. Now, after winning the Genesis Scottish Open and finishing third at the British Open, he’s one of the hottest players in the field. his two under 69 on Friday keeps him in contention at 10 under par. The tournament is not without its controversies. Windham Clark, the 2020 free US Open champion, has faced criticism for his armed course behavior, including damaging clubouses. Yet, he continues to play exceptional golf, entering the weekend at 10 under par. For Owison, the pressure is immense, but his track record in international competitions, nine wins, gives him confidence. As for Knack, he’s shown he can handle the spotlight, having already clinched one PGA Tour victory in 2024. So, who will emerge victorious at the 2025 3M Open? Will Olison finally break through for his first PGA Tour win? Or will NAP claim his second trophy? The weekend promises to be thrilling with plenty of drama and excitement on tap.
