3M Open Second-Round Tee Times – Jacob Bridgeman gave one back on the difficult Par-4 9th hole, but the 24-year-old carded nine first-round birdies on his way to an eight-under 63 and the first-round lead at the 3M Open.
Two of the pre-tournament favorites, Tony Finau (-4) and Sahith Theegala (-5) are lurking and in position to make a run as we head into the weekend. Golfers will likely need to get to -2 or even -3 to make the cut, and with all of the water danger on this course, no one’s safe until they’ve reached the clubhouse because big numbers are out there if you’re wayward off the tee.

TPC Twin Cities
Unlike a typical parkland course, TPC Twin Cities presents a Florida-style challenge with its numerous water hazards and thick rough, leading to high birdie and “double-bogey or worse” rates. The course’s “risk-reward” holes and demanding final stretch ensure an exciting and competitive game with no safe lead on Sunday.
TPC Twin Cities is the ninth longest on Tour and requires accuracy off the tee, as nine holes feature water hazards near the landing areas. Players who excel in Total Driving, which combines distance and accuracy off the tee, have a significant advantage on this course. Past winners such as Tony Finau, Cameron Champ, and Matt Wolff are excellent drivers off the tee, highlighting the importance of this skill at TPC Twin Cities.
Additionally, gaining strokes on approach shots is crucial at this course, making it one of the most ball-striking heavy courses on Tour, with 59% of total strokes gained in this category.
TPC Twin Cities ranks among the top 10 courses on Tour for strokes gained off the tee. It features the 16th widest fairways on Tour, with an average width of 35 yards, providing substantial landing areas. However, finding the water indicates poor ball striking, as water hazards come into play on nine of the 14 tee shots. Hitting fairways is particularly important due to the presence of water hazards and bunkers that force layups on certain holes. It’s worth noting that 31 of the top 36 players on last year’s leaderboard gained strokes off the tee through accuracy.
The fairways are easy to hit, and the thick rough doesn’t pose much of a challenge for reaching the greens. With the greens in regulation (GIR) rate at 71%, golfers who keep their ball dry shouldn’t have trouble getting birdie opportunities.
The greens at TPC Twin Cities are bentgrass and have a slightly above-average speed of 12.5 on the stimpmeter. They are relatively flat and are renowned for being some of the smoothest on Tour. Compared to the tour averages, they are considered some of the easiest putting greens, with lower rates of 3-putts and easier putts in the 5-15 foot range. Given that most players have birdie chances on these greens, putting performance often plays a crucial role in determining the tournament winner.
