BLAINE, Minn. -- Ben Kohles eagled the final hole for a 9-under 62 and a two-shot lead Thursday after the first round of the 3M Open, leaving top-ranked Scottie Scheffler three shots back. Coming off a fourth-place finish Sunday in the British Open, Scheffler was 1 under through eight holes, then birdied five of the next eight. Kohles' second shot from 241 yards out on the par-5 finishing hole settled 4 feet from the cup. Three weeks ago, Kohles nearly got his first career win, but a double bogey on the final hole resulted in a third-place finish at the John Deere Classic. "Any day beating Scottie Scheffler is a good day, so I'll take that," he said.
