Adam Svensson's Thrilling Eagle Putt Seals Lead at 3M Open

Adam Svensson captivated the crowd at the 3M Open by sinking a remarkable 48-foot eagle putt on the final hole. This clinched his 11-under 60 round, propelling him to a two-shot lead over Sam Stevens and Thorbjorn Olesen after the tournament's opening round.

Svensson's exceptional performance featured nine birdies, a feat that set the lowest round record in the event's seven-year history. He tied the TPC Twin Cities course record previously set by Paul Goydos during the 2017 3M Championship on the PGA Tour Champions.

Notable performances included Chris Gotterup, finishing three shots back, and Rickie Fowler who, along with Emiliano Grillo, remains in the running for a spot in the upcoming FedEx Cup playoffs.
