Michael Kim made history with an exclamation point on Friday at the 3M Open.<\/a><\/p>\n

Kim, 33, was going for just the 16th sub-60 round (59) in PGA Tour<\/a> history heading into the 18th hole. Kim\u2019s wedge shot from the fairway on the par-5 18th rolled to the fringe of the green, leaving him 24 feet away from making a birdie and adding his name to the history books.<\/p>\n

Kim had one thing on his mind when stepping up to the putt: Don\u2019t leave it short.<\/p>\n

“I tend to leave those short when it\u2019s that uphill and I just, last thing was just get it there, just don\u2019t leave it short,” Kim said.<\/p>\n

He certainly did not leave it short as Kim buried it in the bottom of the cup and then gave a few huge fist pumps in celebration.<\/p>\n

Going into the last couple of holes, Kim knew what was at stake and wanted to give himself a shot at making the record books.<\/p>\n

“I just kind of told myself like, \u2018Hey, this is the way, this is the moment to get into the history books and let\u2019s go for it, let\u2019s not try to luck our way into it, let\u2019s try to step up and hit some really good shots,\u2019” he said.<\/p>\n

Kim went on multiple runs throughout his round. Starting on the third hole, he made five birdies in a row. He then made par on the eighth hole, but proceeded to birdie three of the next four holes.<\/p>\n

He ended his round with four straight birdies.<\/p>\n

Kim was impeccable with his putter as eight of his 11 birdies were from more than 10 feet away.<\/p>\n

“When you hit a putt and it does exactly what you kind of envisioned before you hit it, it\u2019s an awesome feeling. Felt like that all day out there,” he said.<\/p>\n

Kim\u2019s historic day moved him into a three-shot lead over Ben Kohles, but Kim knows there is a lot more golf left to play.<\/p>\n

“Today was an awesome day, but still, I\u2019m only halfway there so still need to kind of get focused up for the weekend,” he said.<\/p>\n

Kim\u2019s 59 marks the fourth one on tour since 2024. Jake Knapp was the last to do so during the first round of the 2025 Cognizant Classic. Jim Furyk holds<\/a> the PGA Tour record with a 58 at the 2016 Travelers Championship.<\/p>\n
