Adam Senson’s roller coaster round at the 3M Open. In a shocking turn of events, Adam Fenson, the golfer who was on fire Thursday, found himself struggling to make the cut at the 3M Open on Friday. After an incredible first round with eight birdies and an eagle, Senson credited his success to a putter that was performing better than ever before. But Friday’s round was a different story. He managed only one birdie, three bogeies, and a double bogey at the par4 second hole. His sole birdie came at the challenging par 518th after starting on number 10. Despite the setbacks, his 36 hole score of seven underpar 135 allowed him to make the cut, placing him alongside golfing greats like Ricky Fowler and US Open champion Gary Woodland. Former champs Yonathan Vegas and Cameron Champ also made the cut by a single shot. But here’s where it gets controversial. Several notable players failed to make the minus5 cut line, including former 3M Open champ Tony Fenau, Ha Tong Lee, Web Simpson, Keith Mitchell, Zack Johnson, Sahifala, Saiuku Kim, Maverick McNeely, and former 3M Open champ Lee Hajes. And this is the part most people miss. North Oaks Frankie Captain the third withdrew from the tournament due to a wrist injury after shooting a 7 over78 in Thursday’s first round. Other golfers with Minnesota connections also face challenges. New Mexico golfer Carson Herren, son of Tim Herren, shot 72 and 70, but missed the cut while playing on a sponsor’s exemption. Fargo’s Tom Hoj shot 74 and 78, landing him last among golfers who finished. Former gopher Eric Venroyan improved from Thursday a Friday, but still didn’t make the cut with his 7568. The round of the day went to Sweden’s Alex Norin, who shot an impressive nine under 62 that included nine birdies, an eagle, and two bogeies. This performance launched him 86 spots to a tie for eighth. Sam Burns, a US team member for the 2023 Rder Cup, is 21st in the FedEx Cup playoffs and aiming to make the top 30 for the Tour Championship in Atlanta. He’s also 22nd in the World Golf Rankings. So why was he in Minnesota where most players are fighting to make the top 70 to move on in the playoffs? Burns simply stated, “I like the golf course. It kind of fits in the schedule. It just kind of makes sense.” He also praised Prolink Sports executive vice president Tracy West, who oversees the 3M Open and Hollis Cavar’s company that operates other PGA Tour events. What do you think about Burn’s decision to play in Minnesota? Do you agree with his reasoning or do you think he should have focused on higher stakes tournaments? Let us know in the comments below. Adam Senson shatters record with 60 at 3M Open. PGA Tour highlights. What does it really take to break tournament records and make golf history? Adam Senson delivered a jaw-dropping answer at the 3M Open’s first round, stunning both fans and fellow players with a spellbinding performance few saw coming. Swinson’s dazzling finish, a monster 48 foot eagle putt on the final hole, sealed his remarkable 11under par 60, handing him a two-shot advantage over closest pursuers Sam Stevens and Thorbjorn Olison after just one day of play. But here’s where it gets even more interesting. Svenson’s score isn’t just an ordinary great round. It’s the lowest in the entire 7-year history of the 3M Open. and he matched the TPC Twin Cities course record, which had only been achieved once before by Paul Goyos at the 2017 3M Championship. How did it all happen? Svenson, a 31-year-old Canadian whose sole tour victory is the 2022 RSM Classic, put on a putting clinic reminiscent of golf’s greatest masters. Despite a challenging season so far, only one top 25 finish in 21 starts and frustratingly missing the cut 11 times. Svenson found something special on the course Thursday. I had one of the best practice sessions on the range today. But what really stood out was like putting. I felt unstoppable on the greens, sinking all kinds of breaking putts. Honestly, it’s the best I’ve ever rolled the ball. Stenson shared after his round. For those new to golf, a day like this where you need only 25 putts is extraordinarily rare. His highlights included nearly 40ft birdie sinkers on the 11th and a remarkable 34-footer on the four hole. And this is the art most people miss. Even with this career best round, Senson 60 is just the second lowest score seen on the PGA Tour this season. The bar was set even lower in February when Jake Knap fired a mindblowing 59 at the Cognizing Classic in the Palm Beaches. So, does Spinson’s round deserve more credit or does Knap’s 59 steal the thunder? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments. As for Sam Stevens, his chase for history took a dramatic turn of the 18th hole. Stevens had a real shot at tying Nap with a 59 if he could eagle the last par five. But sports can be cruel. Choosing to go for the green with a risky three iron from 246 yds, Stevens watched in dismay as his ball landed in the water short of the green. The gamble backfired, resulting in his only bogey of the day. Yet he still finished with his own tour best 62. Stevens later revealed the strategic dilemma. I have a big gap between my three iron and three-wood. I knew a 3-wood could run too far. So to get to the pin, I needed a perfect three iron just to clear the hazard. I went for it, but it didn’t pay off this time. Still, you have to take your chances when you want something special. Wasn’t the aggressive play the right decision? Some will say yes for ambition. Others might argue for caution. What’s your take? Elsewhere in the field, high-profile names like Ricky Zowler and Ameliano Grill find themselves at a pivotal crossroads. Both are part of a tight pack of 18 pros ranked between 60th and 80th in the FedEx tuck standings. With just two weeks to go before the first round of playoffs, where only the top 70 advance, every shot counts. Fowler, currently sitting at number 63, summed it up best. At the end of the day, good golf solves a lot of things. It’s a high pressure environment, and even former major champs aren’t immune. In Thursday’s opening round, Patrick Rogers and Gary Woodland, ranked 66th and 78th in FedEx Cup points, respectively, both carded solid 67s. Keith Mitchell, right at the cutoff number 70, struggled to a 68. Cam Davis, ranked 65th, faltered with a 71, showing just how unforgiving the margins are at this level of competition. Defending champion Janatus shooting a 68 and recent open champion Tukstar Hoong Lee who posted a one under 70 know all too well how one round can shape an entire season. So the big questions linger is Svenson’s electrifying round proof he’s finally ready for a breakout year or just another flash of brilliance in a streaky season? And did Stevens make the right call in risking it all for a shot at 59 or should he have played safe? This tournament isn’t just rewriting records. It’s igniting debates and drama at every turn. Where do you stand? Let’s get the conversation started below. Do you agree with the strategies and risks we saw? Or do we think there’s a smarter way to chase history in Guff?
