Michael Kim achieved a remarkable 12-under par 59 in the second round of the 3M Open, marking only the 16th sub-60 score in PGA Tour history. His flawless round featured consecutive birdies and an impressive 24-foot putt for birdie on the 18th hole. Kim's putting was exceptional, draining eight putts from 10 feet or more.

This sensational 59 places Kim joint-second for the lowest 18-hole scores in PGA Tour history, trailing only Jim Furyk's record of 58. For the 2026 season, the previous low round was 60, achieved by five other players. Kim, who last shot his personal best of 61 at the 2023 Wyndham Championship, expressed satisfaction with his performance, highlighting his putting as a key factor.

Reflecting on his historic round, the 33-year-old acknowledged the significance of being part of golf history but emphasized the need to maintain his composure for the remainder of the tournament. He noted the challenge of not comparing future rounds to his exceptional 59 and mentioned Scottie Scheffler as a strong competitor to watch.
