Mandatory Credit: Matt Krohn-USA TODAY Sports Rookie Jacob Bridgeman shot a career-low 8-under 63 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the 3M Open on Thursday in Blaine, Minn.
The 24-year-old Bridgeman finished with nine birdies, including three in a row on Nos. 12-14 at TPC Twin Cities. The Clemson product, who has yet to win on the PGA Tour, had one bogey (on the par-4 ninth hole) but birdied his last two holes to finish one stroke ahead of Canada's Mackenzie Hughes (64).
Hughes collected seven birdies to finish one shot ahead of Patrick Rodgers, Andrew Novak and France's Martin Trainer.
Sahith Theegala and seven others shot a first-round 66 and are three shots off the pace. Tony Finau (67) is among a large contingent four shots back.
