Adam Svensson fires 60 to set course record at 3M Open
(Photo credit: Jim Cowsert-Imagn Images) Canada's Adam Svensson took advantage of ideal scoring conditions Thursday morning to shoot a course-record 60 at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minn. Svensson reached the par-5 18th hole in two shots and had two putts to break the course record. He only needed one. Svensson's eagle attempt from just over 48 feet hit the flagstick and dropped for an eagle, finishing an 11 under round of 60 with matching 30s on both nines. He now holds the course record by two shots over Scott Piercy's 62 in the first round of 2019 and Sam Stevens' round that was completed just a few groups ahead of Svensson on Thursday. Stevens was on 59 watch when he reached 10 under through 16 holes. He narrowly missed a birdie putt on the 17th hole and then put his approach on 18 in the water. Stevens had to settle for a 62 after closing with a bogey. 'I had a good drive and I probably made the decision trying to shoot 59 because I was in between -- I have a pretty big gap between my 3-iron and my 3-wood, and I hit a terrible shot,' Stevens said. 'But I thought if I hit a 3-wood, it was just going to fly to the back of the green, and I kind of had to hit a 3-iron perfect to even cover the water. But I figured that was my best chance to shoot 59, so I gave it a go. 'Didn't hit a good shot, but made a nice up-and-down for 6, so I guess that's a positive. Yeah, not the best way to finish the round, but gave it a crack.' With minimal wind and players able to play their balls up in the fairway due to heavy recent rains, scoring conditions were ideal. 'It's a great course but it's pretty straightforward, not a whole lot of adjustments, just sort of point and shoot and make as many birdies as you can,' Stevens said. Not long after Stevens completed his round, Svensson stole the thunder with his eagle putt, completing a bogey-free round that included nine birdies. It was a round few would have predicted. Svensson, who won the 2022 RSM Classic, has plummeted to 234th in the Official World Golf Ranking while missing 11 of his first 20 cuts in 2025. That includes his two most recent starts entering this week and four of his past five. Svensson's best finish thus far in 2025 was a tie for 24th at the Corales Puntacana Championship.

Joel Dahmen announces split from caddie Geno Bonnalie
Joel Dahmen announced Tuesday that he was splitting from longtime caddie Geno Bonnaile. The news was first reported Monday by Matt Gannon. Dahmen and Bonnaile have worked together for more than a decade, beginning on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2015. Their relationship, which began as childhood friends in Washington state, was popularized over two seasons on Netflix's "Full Swing" show. Advertisement "We're still the best of friends and that will never change," Dahmen said in an X post. "But we both know that a fresh perspective is sometimes needed and it's been a great run. I couldn't be more proud of what we have achieved together as guys from a small town in the middle of nowhere." Earlier this year, Max Homa and longtime friend/caddie Joe Greiner parted ways amid Homa's on-course struggles. Dahmen is currently 98th on the FedExCup points list, with the top 100 securing full status in 2026. He finished 124th last year — when the top 125 earned cards. Dahmen's lone Tour win came in the 2021 Corales Puntacana Championship. He had a chance to win that event again this year but bogeyed his final three holes to lose by one.

Joel Dahmen Makes PGA Tour History at Charles Schwab Challenge
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Joel Dahmen is one of the most popular players on the PGA Tour. That's why his career accomplishments always go over well with fans, even if his results this season haven't been great. That's exactly what happened in the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge, as Dahmen earned the first ace of his PGA Tour career. It took him 225 tournaments to accomplish the feat. The play came on the 186-yard, par-3 13th hole, the fourth of the round for Dahmen, who started on the 10th tee. The 37-year-old's tee shot hit a slope on the green behind the pin and rolled back with such luck that it went straight into the hole. The eagle completed Dahmen's good run until that point, as he had parred the previous three holes. His joy was short-lived, however, as he added one birdie and three bogeys on the rest of the first nine to end the segment at even par. This is Dahmen's eighth appearance in the Charles Schwab Challenge. In seven previous starts, he has made the cut five times and his best finish is a tie for 19th in 2020. His best round at Colonial Country Club is a 65 (second, 2020) and his worst is a 76 (fourth round 2023, fourth round 2024). The one-time PGA Tour winner has played in 14 events this season and missed eight cuts, including three in a row heading into the Charles Schwab Challenge. He has three top-10 finishes, including a tie for second at the Corales Puntacana Championship, his best finish of the year to date. Joel Dahmen of the United States plays his shot from the 14th tee during the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 22, 2025 in Fort Worth, Texas. Joel Dahmen of the United States plays his shot from the 14th tee during the first round of the Charles Schwab Challenge 2025 at Colonial Country Club on May 22, 2025 in Fort Worth, results have caused him to slip down the FedEx Cup rankings, where he is currently 81st. Dahmen needs to break into the top 70 to return to the playoffs, which he has missed since 2022. The issue also has a bearing on his status on the PGA Tour. Starting next season, only the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings will keep their tour card, so the Clarkston, Washington, native must remain in that group. A member of the PGA Tour since 2017, Dahmen has played 224 tournaments at this level, making 146 cuts, with one victory, three runner-up finishes and 22 other top 10s.

Dahmen jumped to 2 under par before making a birdie and three bogeys over the remainder of his opening nine at Colonial Country Club.
