With Conners/ Taylor at Olympics, the other Canucks are at 3M Open..full field

 PGA Tour : 3M Open Field

 The 3M Open includes a measure of pressure to perform with the FedExCup Playoffs on the horizon. It’s the penultimate stop before the field of 70 for the Playoffs is determined and plays on to chase additional goals.

A field of 156 is assembled for the sixth edition of the tournament in Blaine, Minnesota, all at TPC Twin Cities. 

With Nick Taylor and Corey Conners at the Olympics in Paris, six Canadians, some looking to gain a coveted spot in the upcoming Presidents Cup in Montreal, Adam Hadwin, Mac Hughes, Adam Svensson, Ben Silverman, Taylor Pendrith, Roger Sloan have all made the trip.

The 3M Open ignites a two-tournament stretch across three weeks that’s bisected by the Olympic Men’s Golf Competition The long-range objective hasn’t been as visible as it is right now, and it’ll only get clearer when the Wyndham Championship is poised to conclude the regular season on the other side.

Course; TPC Twin Cities

The par 71 with three par 5s sets up familiarly at 7,431 yards. Bentgrass greens a little greater than average in size could touch 13 feet on the Stimpmeter if conditions cooperate. Once again, the tallest of the rough will be four inches.

Weather:

Save a threat of inclement weather late in the tournament, it’s going to be a green-light special. Seasonable daytime highs in the 80s will be felt in earnest with a primarily sunny sky. In correlation to gradual heating, winds will freshen on Friday and Saturday. As always, the timing of when it pushes (from the south) could add a wrinkle for one side of the draw.

TPC Twin Cities is one of the most gettable off the tee and on approach. When converting greens in regulation into par breakers, it becomes a shootout. 

Defending champion

What Lee Hodges achieved a year ago never is the expectation, but he proved that the extraordinary is possible. All he did was record the only wire-to-wire victory of 2022-23 and with a season-high margin of victory of seven strokes. Like the majority committed this week, he was outside the top 70 in the FedExCup upon arrival.
