Michael Kim shoots a 12-under par 59 on Friday at the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities, producing the 16th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history. Multiple outlets report that Kim’s score comes without a bogey, with the round featuring 12 birdies. One report notes he makes a 24-foot putt on the final hole to complete the 59. Other accounts describe Kim birdying the final stretch, including birdies over the last four holes, to finish the round at 12-under.
After the 59, Kim is positioned near the top of the leaderboard. Reports state he moves into the lead, and one outlet says he carries a three-shot advantage. The other coverage emphasizes the historical context, noting that Kim’s 59 is among the small number of sub-60 rounds ever recorded on the PGA Tour, including discussion that it falls just short of matching the overall PGA Tour record by one shot. Taken together, the sources agree on Kim’s bogey-free 59, its rarity in PGA Tour history, and his strong position on the leaderboard heading into the next rounds.
