SUB 60 HEADLINES

We are contractually obligated to lead with this one.

Michael Kim shot 59. Friday at the 3M Open, the 33-year-old American made 12 birdies without a single bogey at TPC Twin Cities, turning in 29 and coming home in 30. He needed birdies on his final two holes to get there.

He rolled in a 17-footer on the par-3 17th, then laid up on the par-5 18th rather than gamble with water in play and buried a 24-foot uphill putt for the number. It was the 16th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history and the first since Jake Knapp's 59 at the 2025 Cognizant Classic, a gap of 512 days.

Kim held a three-shot lead at the halfway point and then ran into a rookie. Jackson Koivun, 21 years old and three starts into his professional career, closed with a bogey-free 66 to win at 25-under 259, a tournament record. He beat World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler by three, which is not a sentence most people expected to read this month.

The former Auburn star pocketed $1.58 million and jumped 124 spots to 70th in the FedExCup standings, currently the last seat inside the playoff line with two events left. Kim faded to a tie for 10th.

MORE SCORING HISTORY

LIV Golf UK delivered its own scoring assault. Lucas Herbert went wire to wire at JCB Golf & Country Club in Staffordshire, England, finishing at 30-under 258 for a six-shot win over Tyrrell Hatton. That is the lowest 72-hole score in LIV history, beating the 26-under marks Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm posted in South Africa earlier this year. Herbert also set a league record with 30 birdies for the week. His Ripper GC squad swept the team title at 52-under.

ROCKET MORTGAGE UP NEXT

The PGA Tour heads to Detroit Golf Club for the Rocket Classic, July 30 to August 2, and this is the last one under the Rocket banner. Aldrich Potgieter defends after winning his maiden title in a five-hole playoff last year. Cameron Young headlines a field that includes Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka, both making their Detroit debuts, with $10 million on the line and one regular season event remaining after this.
