Overview
- Svensson carded an 11-under 60 to set a new 3M Open tournament record; it matched the TPC Twin Cities course mark held by Paul Goydos.
- He collected nine birdies without a bogey, holed a 48-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole and required just 25 putts overall.
- Sam Stevens and Thorbjorn Olesen are two shots back at 62, with Chris Gotterup, Chad Ramey and Matti Schmid three behind at 63 and Zac Blair, Chris Kirk, Jake Knapp and Brendan Valdes at 64.
- The 60 stands as the second-lowest score on the PGA Tour this season; it marks a significant turnaround for Svensson after one top-25 finish and 11 missed cuts in 21 starts.
- As the final regular-season stop before the FedEx Cup playoffs, the 3M Open offers a vital opportunity for players to boost their standings and secure a playoff berth.
