Michael Kim stole the show, albeit on a less than challenging TPC Twin Cities course, making 5 straight birdies on the front 9, then 4 in a row to finish the 59 in style with a 25 footer.

He is now the15th player to make the magic number. 

" I just told myself, hey this is the moment to get into the record books, so lets go for it, let's step up and make some really good shots. When you hit a putt that goes exactly as you saw it is awesome, I felt like that all day out there."

If you want an unbiased report on any PGA Tour event that Scott Scheffler is in, forget about reading pgatour.com these days. 

"All eyes are on the undisputed world #1 Scottie Scheffler of course" is a typical beginning to many posts, perhaps unaware the rest of the world outside his fans in America are reading. 

T13  Scott Scheffler -7 65 70 is his score this week, but they still have him lurking albeit 7 shots behind on one of the 3 easiest courses on the PGA Tour, with 22 other players ahead or even with him seemingly insignificant. 

Of course it is just this type of bias that always fuels the European Ryder Cup team, especially when he goes 1-4-0  as he did at Bethpage last year.
