Mike Goodes turned in a bogey-free scorecard Friday at TPC Twin Cities, hit 17 of 18 greens in regulation, all 14 fairways and needed just 29 putts.
Kenny Perry still found a way to upstage what was an impressive afternoon.
That's the kind of golf players and fans alike were treated to, another birdie-fest in Blaine with talk of records falling and predictions of how-low-can-scores-go on the weekend.
Perry matched Goodes' 7-under 65 in Round 1 of the 3M Championship, doing so in style with six consecutive birdies to open his day. Five of those birdies came on putts of at least 10 feet.
"I just throated those first six putts, right in the middle at perfect speed," said Perry, the 3M winner in 2014 and 2015. "The greens are faster than I remember, and I love quick greens."
Perry's birdie streak, the first time in his career he's opened a round with six in a row, is one off the record to start a round here set in 2013 by Jeff Sluman. Perry made another birdie at No. 9 to turn in 7-under 29 — again one off a record.
Perry made seven consecutive pars on the back nine and then dropped a shot with a bogey on the par-3 17th.
He two-putted for birdie on the last hole.
