PGA Tour: Koivun Takes 3M Open

July 26, 2026 by PGA Tour Brunch

BLAINE (Minn) – (Wire Service Report) – It didn’t take long for rookie Jackson Koivun to prove that he’s comfortable on the PGA Tour.

Koivun shot 5-under-par 66 to stave off hard-charging Scottie Scheffler and win on the PGA Tour for the first time at the 3M Open on Sunday at Blaine, Minn. Koivun, 21, finished at 25-under 259 for a three-shot victory on Scheffler, who closed with a 63 at TPC Twin Cities.

“Definitely had some nerves coming down on 18,” Koivun said. “All throughout the crowd, I kept hearing, ‘Scottie’s coming, Scottie’s coming.’ I just tried to tone that out and keep playing the golf I knew I could.”

Less than two months ago, Koivun was helping Auburn to its second NCAA championship in a three-year stretch. He demonstrated more poise while playing the final two rounds of his third tournament since turning pro without carding a bogey.

“I just love this game. I love golf, it’s everything I do,” Koivun said. “I have a tough time getting away from it. Like I said, it’s been love at first sight.”

Denny McCarthy (66), Brian Harman (65), Chandler Phillips (67) and Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama (64) tied for third place at 20 under.

World No. 1 Scheffler birdied three consecutive holes to begin the back nine as part of his bogey-free round. He birdied Nos. 16 and 18, leaving him trailing by two strokes.

Koivun then birdied No. 16, extending the margin to three strokes with two holes to play.

“Depending on how Jackson played, I knew I was going to need a really low number regardless,” Scheffler said. “I wanted to get something really low on the front nine and kind of put myself on the leaderboard. I didn’t quite have that.”

Scheffler, who was competing in the 3M Open for the first time, still hasn’t seen Koivun hit a shot.

“I’m looking forward to that,” Scheffler said.

Koivun, a three-time Player of the Year in the Southeastern Conference, surged into the lead across the final nine holes Saturday and then went right to work Sunday, with his approach shot on the first hole spinning back to within 2 feet of the cup for an easy birdie putt. A birdie on No. 4 pushed his lead to five strokes, with Scheffler among five golfers tied for second place at the time.

He ended up with birdies on the first two par-5 layouts Sunday – and didn’t need it on No. 18.

Jake Knapp shot an early 62 to rise quickly on the leaderboard and finish at 16 under, tying for 13th. He posted seven consecutive birdies as part of a 28 on the back nine, tying a tournament record set a day earlier by Koivun.

“On the back nine, just like drove it a little bit better and I wedged it really well,” Knapp said. “That was the main thing and that was kind of the main focus coming into these last few weeks.”

Defending champion Kurt Kitayama (68) finished tied for 24th at 13 under.

PGA Tour: Koivun Leads 3M Open

July 25, 2026 by PGA Tour Brunch

BLAINE – (Wire Service Report) – PGA Tour newcomer Jackson Koivun fired a 10-under-par 61 on the way to taking the third-round lead at the 3M Open on Saturday in the Twin Cities.

Koivun, in his just third tournament as a professional, holds a three-shot lead on Ben Kohles and Argentina’s Emiliano Grillo going to Sunday’s final round at TPC Twin Cities. Koivun, who announced last month that he would forgo his senior collegiate season at Auburn to turn pro, finished on a tear with two eagles on the backside that allowed him to play the final 10 holes in 9-under. That contributed to a tournament-record 28 on the backside, rolling in a 14-foot eagle putt on the last hole.

Koivun’s bogey-free round included an eagle 3 on No. 12.

Grillo and Kohles also were without bogeys on the way to posting 65s. Grillo eagled No. 18 shortly after Koivun accomplished that. Kohles, the first-round leader, had three birdies on both sides.

Michael Brennan (63) and Chandler Phillips (66) are tied for fourth place at 16 under.

Michael Kim, fresh off Friday’s 59, was unable to maintain the momentum, shooting 70 and joining Denny McCarthy (64) and Billy Horschel (65) at 15 under. Kim had only one birdie until No. 16 on Saturday.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler had his best round of the tournament with 64 to move to 14 under, holding a share of first place when he left the final green. Competing in the tournament for the first time, he posted an 8 under score on the backside, highlighted by an eagle with a chip from the greenside rough on the par-4 16th.

Davis Thompson and Ireland’s Seamus Power were early finishers with 63s, also among those at 14 under before other golfers got rolling. Brian Harman (66) is at 14 under as well.

Defending champion Kurt Kitayama shot 66 to move to 10 under.

PGA Tour: 3M Open Awaits Low Scores

July 23, 2026 by PGA Tour Brunch

BLAINE, (Minn) – Defending champion Kurt Kitayama is making his third appearance at 3M Open (T6/2024, Won/2025). He claimed his second PGA TOUR title with victory at 2025 3M Open, highlighted by a career-low 60 in the third round. Last year, he entered the week at No. 110 in the FedEx Cup and became the third consecutive 3M Open winner to begin the week outside the Top 70 in the FedEx Cup (Jhonattan Vegas/No. 147/2024; Lee Hodges/No. 74/2023) and leave in the playoffs.

He is a cumulative 36-under in eight rounds at TPC Twin Cities (66-69-70-66-65-71-60-65). Kitayama is coming off a T40 finish at The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale.

3M Open notes:

The Open: Burns in Front

July 18, 2026 by Digital Sports Desk

ROYAL BIRKDALE – (Wire Service Report) – Sam Burns shot a 5-under par 65 with a clean back nine in the third round of The Open Championship to take a two-stroke lead Saturday at Southport, England.

Burns sits at 10-under 200 and ahead of New Zealand’s Ryan Fox, who became part of history with a third-round 62, and South Korea’s Si Woo Kim, who posted 67, at Royal Birkdale  Golf Club. Fox and Kim are at 8 under.

Burns is making a run at his first title in a major after strong efforts earlier this year by tying for second in the Masters and finishing as the U.S. Open runner-up.

His 62-65 run over the past two rounds is the lowest 36-hole stretch in major championship history.

Burns has five victories on the PGA Tour, but none this year.

Fox matched a majors record with 62 early in the day to surge into the lead. He’s the third golfer in this tournament to post 62, joining the accomplishments of Burns and second-round leader Lucas Herbert of Australia from Friday.

Fox, who made the cut by two strokes, moved to 8 under for the tournament after a round sparked by playing the first eight holes in 5 under.

Herbert, whose lone PGA Tour triumph came in the 2021 Butterfield Bermuda Championship, slumped to 71 and is tied for fourth place with Ryan Gerard (69) at 7 under.

Bryson DeChambeau, who was embroiled in controversy following the second round after he was assessed a two-stroke penalty, had a steady round of 69 to hold a tie for sixth place. Until the final hole, his only bogey came on the second hole, and he posted birdies on Nos. 6, 15 and 17.

So DeChambeau, who played Saturday in a pairing with Burns, is at 6 under with Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg (67) and first-round leader Jackson Suber (70).

Defending champion and World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who began the round four strokes off the lead, shot 70 and stayed at 4 under. On the surface, it was a quiet round with a birdie on No. 5 and a bogey at No. 16 along with 16 pars.

SILVIS – Lucas Glover (T1/-16), the 18-and 36-hole leader/co-leader, carded a 2-under (69), highlighted by an eagle on No. 2. He holds 54-hole lead/co-lead for fifth time on TOUR (most recent: 2023 FedEx St. Jude Championship/Won) and is 2-for-4 in converting 54-hole lead/co-lead into victory.

Glover leads the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green (10.254) and Strokes Gained: Approach The Green (8.840).

Lee Hodges (T1/-16) recorded six birdies against two bogeys on Nos. 6 and 8 en route to third-round (67).

Scheffler Leads the Pack at Travelers

June 26, 2026 by PGA Tour Brunch

CROMWELL (Conn) – (Wire Service Report) – Scottie Scheffler bumped in a par putt at No. 18 for a second-round 60 to stand atop the leaderboard at 16 under through 36 holes of the Travelers Championship on Friday at the TPC River Highlands course, just south of Hartford, Connecticut.

Scheffler missed a long birdie by mere inches to the right on the par-4 18th before tapping in for the 10-under 60, one better than Norway’s Viktor Hovland (61 on Friday) and two better than Akshay Bhatia’s second-round 62.

Embed from Getty Images

Hovland is alone in second, two back of Scheffler at 14 under. Bhatia ended the day in a tie for third at 12 under with Eric Cole (65).

“After birdieing 15, I was kind of like, ‘Oh, yeah, maybe 9 under now. A few more, you could shoot 59,’” Scheffler said.

“At the end of the day, I was very focused on just my execution out there. … I’ve put myself in position now this week. Go home, get some rest, and get ready for tomorrow.”

Overnight rain led to soft greens and low scoring at TPC River Highlands on Friday, a common theme in the second round albeit nothing entirely novel at the event.

With a round of 60, Scheffler ties Patrick Cantlay (2011) and Tommy Bolt (1954) for the top second round. Jim Furyk (58 in 2016) holds the tournament single-round scoring record and Cameron Young posted a 59 in the third round two years ago.

“The conditions were really good this morning. Softer golf course, not as much wind,” Scheffler said. “Going out yesterday in the afternoon, when the greens get firm out here and the wind starts to blow, it can get tricky pretty quickly.

“Yeah, going out this morning, you definitely had a feeling the conditions were going to be easier, so you need to go out there and try and take advantage of it.”

After opening with a birdie Friday, Scheffler made a bogey 5 at the second. The missed 6-footer on the par-4 was arguably his last mistake Friday before shifting into overdrive. He had 10 birdies on his final 16 holes in the second round with matching scores of 30 on the front and back nine in his bid to win the event for the second time in three years.

Hovland was 9 under on Friday with a 30 on the front nine and a highlight eagle on the par-5 13th.

“It was awesome stuff today,” said Hovland, who tied his career-low round on tour. “Obviously been kind of battling some stuff. You know, my golf swing had not felt all that comfortable. But, you know, I felt like things stabilized a lot more today, and I was able to put the ball in the fairway, hit some great iron shots, and putter finally cooperated a little bit more today.”

Bhatia walked off the course earlier with the lead before Hovland and Scheffler closed out the round emphatically. He had four birdies on each nine in a bogey-free trip around River Highlands, including putts from outside 26 feet at Nos. 3 and 10.

“I feel like I’ve putted really good the whole year,” Bhatia said. “I went through a stretch where when the greens were as good or consistent, even though I hit good putts, they just weren’t going in. … I feel like I kind of showed up this week, you know, did my same stuff, and my speed has been really good this week. I’ve had pretty stress-free putts.”

Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick had a late-afternoon run undone by bogeys at Nos. 16 and 18. He settled for a 66 and a tie for fifth at 10 under with Bud Cauley and Ben Griffin, each of whom also posted 66.

There was no 36-hole cut at the 72-man signature event. Notables down the board include defending champion Keegan Bradley (65) and U.S. Open champ Wyndham Clark (64) at 8 under, PGA Championship winner Aaron Rai of England (68) at 7 under and Justin Thomas (66) at 6 under.

Connecticut’s James is On the Job

June 25, 2026 by Digital Sports Desk

By TERRY LYONS

CROMWELL (Conn) – After prepping at Hamden Hall Day School and playing the very best golf courses at every chance, Ben James decided to attend the University of Virginia to play golf. James grew up in Milford, Connecticut, developing his game at Great River Golf Club, where his grandfather, Donald James Sr., worked part-time after retirement and his father, Donald James Jr., played in his youth.

They might’ve dreamt of great things for Ben, but little did they know just how far those dreams would take their grandson/son.

Embed from Getty Images

James played four seasons at Virginia (2022-26), where he earned seven individual victories, tying Ben Kohles‘ school record for career wins and one of his victories included the 2024 Valero Texas Collegiate, which earned him an exemption for the 2025 Valero Texas Open on the PGA TOUR.

One outing and one experience after another, led James to the next level.

James became only the fifth collegiate golfer in history to earn four All-America First Team honors, following Gary Hallberg (1977-80 at Wake Forest University), Phil Mickelson (1989-92 at Arizona State University), David Duval (1990-93 at Georgia Tech), and Bryce Molder (1998-2001 at Georgia Tech).

James earned his PGA TOUR membership as the No. 1 player from the 2026 PGA TOUR University Ranking after those four amazing seasons four seasons in Charlottesville. Now, there’s no turning back.

Actually, this wonderful tournament at the TPC River Highlands, just south of Hartford, was James’ first rodeo. He made his PGA TOUR debut as a sponsor exemption at the 2022 Travelers Championship, playing in a field which also featured Chris Gotterup, Cole Hammer, and Michael Thorbjornsen as a few other sponsor exemptions. James was keeping good company, all along.

When James teed-off at the Travelers Championship on Thursday, he had $204,170 in winnings and a 4-for-11 record in making the cut at his events on Tour. Home course advantage would help him get a good – but not great – start today.

James shot (-2) under (68) and was tied for 30th as the “big boys,” like Scottie Scheffler, Sam Burns and Tommy Fleetwood turned for home in the afternoon. Tournament defending champion, Keegan Bradley, was (-3) under after 16 holes. Gotterup was one-over as his round concluded.  TPC River Highlands was kind to the morning groups after a couple days of hard rain, but a heater rising to 83-degrees and gorgeous blue skies dried up the course quickly, and it played tougher as the clock struck military time of 14:00 hundred.

James went out in (32) as par read (35) and he was on the morning leaderboard and stirring interest in the local fan base, happily following his journey. The back nine was not so kind as the course firmed-up, and James shot (36) on the par (35) to finish with his (68) on the par 70 course. The three bogeys with two birdies dotted the back nine scorecard and two of those bogeys came on No. 17 and No. 18, sending young James to the lockers with a “what might’ve been” scorecard.

The early clubhouse leader was Eric Cole who posted a healthy (63), seven under par on a course which Bradley conquered last summer with a (-15) score.

Of course, this is the same golf course where Jim Furyk (2016) and Cameron Young (2024) carded the glorious, and often untouchable “59.” But, keep in mind, in 2024, Scottie Scheffler posted a (-22) to win the tournament and it took a playoff to defeat Tom Kim that year. Bradley won in 2023 with a (-23).

That means, there’s a lot of golf to be played. There’s a cut to be made for Ben James (T-15) and then, on Saturday, maybe the hometown crowds from Milford will spur their proud Hamden Hall and Virginia Cavalier on to – possibly – his best finish as a professional at the ripe age of 23.

Wyndham Clark Wins US Open

June 21, 2026 by PGA Tour Brunch

SOUTHAMPTON – (Wire Service Report) – Wyndham Clark is once again a top-10 golfer in the world after capturing his second U.S. Open title in four years. Clark jumped 26 spots to No. 8 in the Official World Golf Ranking on Monday, one day after he won the third major of the 2026 season.

Clark had his first major breakthrough at the 2023 U.S. Open and climbed as high as No. 3 in the world in 2024. A less-than-stellar start to the 2026 season saw him tumble as far as 75th in the world, which is where he stood when he missed the cut at the PGA Championship.

Embed from Getty Images

He bounced back to No. 45 in his next start by winning the CJ Cup Byron Nelson outside Dallas, then gained eight more spots to No. 37 by placing third at the Memorial Tournament, a signature event with a strong field.

Clark won by one stroke over Sam Burns Sunday at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club after starting the day with a six-shot cushion on the field. Burns, for his part, rose from No. 30 to 15 in the world.

In third place was South Korea’s Tom Kim, who like Burns made a late push to try to apply pressure as Clark slipped from 7 under to 4 under for the event.

A three-time winner on the PGA Tour, Kim has struggled in recent years and fell as far as No. 152 in the world before playing the RBC Canadian Open two weeks ago. His U.S. Open finish propelled him from 141st to 64th in the rankings.

Bryson DeChambeau missed his third straight major cut of 2026 and dropped two spots to No. 34 in the rankings. He has had a successful season on the LIV Golf circuit, where world ranking points are being doled out for the first time, but only to the top 10 finishers of a given event.

PGA Tour: It’s On to Shinnecock Hills

June 17, 2026 by PGA Tour Brunch

SOUTHAMPTON, NY – This week will feature the third major of the 2026 season (Rory McIlroy/Masters Tournament; Aaron Rai/PGA Championship) and the 126th playing of the U.S. Open, dating to 1895.

The 2026 U.S. Open will be the 76th USGA championship and 21st U.S. Open conducted in New York. Shinnecock Hills Golf Club is the lone course to have hosted the U.S. Open in three different centuries. The golf course was founded in 1891, is the oldest incorporated golf club in the United States. Shinnecock is one of the five founding member clubs of the USGA, which was established in 1894 and conducted its first championships in 1895.

Embed from Getty Images

In 1896, Shinnecock Hills hosted the second U.S. Open (35 total players) and second U.S. Amateur (58 total players).

The 2026 U.S. Open is the 10th USGA championship to be conducted by the club and the sixth U.S. Open (1896/James Foulis, 1986/Raymond Floyd, 1995/Corey Pavin, 2004/Retief Goosen, 2018/Brooks Koepka).

Shinnecock Hills Golf Club will also host the 2036 U.S. Open and 2036 U.S. Women’s Open.

The USGA accepted 10,201 entries for the 2026 U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, one entry shy of the record 10,202 entries accepted for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont (Pa.) Country Club. This year marks the fifth time in championship history that the number of entries exceeded 10,000.

The field will be cut after 36 holes to the low 60 and ties.

In the event of a playoff, a two-hole aggregate playoff will take place following the completion of Sunday’s final round
