Svensson Fires 60, Leads in Tour’s Return to Utah
Mikael Svensson fired a sizzling 60 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the Korn Ferry Tour’s Utah Championship on Thursday.
The Swede birdied six of his first nine holes and added three more coming home at Oakridge Country Club to set the early pace.
Two-time Korn Ferry Tour winner Auston Kim and Maverick McNealy sit one shot back after opening with 61s.
The tournament marks the tour’s first visit to Utah since 2018 and is one of three events being played in the state this month.
The Utah Championship continues through Sunday, with the winner earning a spot in the PGA Tour’s Barbasol Championship.
