In Case You Missed It
With his victory in the 2008 3M Championship, R. W. Eaks shattered the previous three-day tournament record by four strokes. His 23-under par 193 bested the 19-under mark set by Ed Dougherty in 2000. Eaks’ 23-under total was also six strokes better than second-place finishers Bernhard Langer and Gary Hallberg, who both finished at 17-under par, another new tournament record. The previous largest winning margin was three strokes set by Hale Irwin in 2002.
