Michael Kim joins PGA Tour’s sub-60 club with 59 at 3M Open

Michael Kim shot a 12-under-par 59 in the second round of the 3M Open, taking the lead at TPC Twin Cities and adding his name to a rare PGA Tour scoring list.

Michael Kim carded a 12-under-par 59 in the second round of the 3M Open in Minnesota, finishing the day three shots ahead of Ben Kohles. The American completed the milestone with a 24-foot birdie putt on the final hole at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine.

The round placed Kim among a very small group in PGA Tour history: it was reported as the 16th sub-60 round on the US tour, with Kim becoming the 15th player to shoot 59. Jim Furyk remains the only player referenced in the source as having gone lower, with a 58 in 2016.

Kim’s scorecard was built on 12 birdies and no bogeys. He made five consecutive birdies from the third to the seventh holes, added more gains around the turn, and then closed with four straight birdies from the 15th through the 18th.

For Kim, whose previous best round was listed as 62, the finish turned an excellent day into a historic one. The next question is whether he can carry that control and momentum from a record-level Friday into the weekend pressure of leading a PGA Tour event.
