Michael Kim sensationally recorded only the 16th sub-60 score in the history of the PGA Tour as he shot a 12-under par 59 to shoot up the leaderboard at the 3M Open on Friday.

Kim’s flawless round included a string of five consecutive birdies between holes three and seven, before he wrapped up his round in style, going four under for his final four holes.

The American’s putter was red hot on Friday, draining eight putts from 10 or more feet away from the hole, and wrapped up his round in dramatic style, draining an incredible 24-foot putt for birdie on the 18th.

The previous low round on the PGA Tour for the 2026 season was 60, with five players, Blades Brown, Wyndham Clark, Si Woo Kim, Andrew Putnam and Scottie Scheffler, all having achieved the feat this season.

Kim’s second-round 59 puts him joint-second for the lowest 18-hole scores in PGA Tour history, with Jim Furyk’s fourth-round 58 at the 2016 Travelers Championship remaining the US circuit’s record score.
