Kim 59 Leads 3M Open; Sub-60 History
Michael Kim shot a 59 to post a bogey-free 16th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history and take a solo lead at 14 under after the second round of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. He opened with five straight birdies, added three more on a four-birdie stretch after the turn, and closed with a 24-foot birdie at the 18th. The round ties for the earliest 59 in the tournament’s history and marks another high-scoring on-tour performance this season. Kim’s round places him among a small group of players who have broken 60, following names like Al Geiberger and Jim Furyk, with Jake Knapp the most recent prior 59 before Kim. He led the field by three at one point, while his prior results include a best finish of 17th; his only PGA Tour win remains the 2028 John Deere Classic.
