Coming off a scintillating week at the 150th Open Championship, the PGA Tour heads back stateside for the inevitable post-major letdown and the 3M Open held at TPC Twin Cities. Designed by the legendary golfer and architect Arnold Palmer, the course was laid out on a 235-acre tract of property on the site of a former sod farm in the Minneapolis suburb of Blaine, Minnesota.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two straight events on links-style courses, the 3M Open also signals a return to the familiar confines of parkland-style golf. At TPC Twin Cities, while low-scoring is the name of the game, there are still plenty of water hazards and thick rough to present a challenge to those who are not in good form. This course also contains numerous \u201crisk-reward\u201d holes which provides a level of excitement along with no lead being safe coming down the final stretch of holes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we head down the final stretch of the season and the typical weaker fields that come along with it, there is still a massive amount of FedEx Cup points on the line. Motivation becomes a real intangible this time of year as many players will be trying to either qualify or better their position with just three events remaining before the FedExCup Playoffs begin. Only the top 125 players in the standings qualify for the first event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The week after a major tends to struggle to attract big names. For this week\u2019s 3M Open, only five of the top-50 players in the world are in attendance. A small upper tier of players is headlined by Hideki Matsuyama, Tony Finau, and Sungjae Im. A small group will be making their way over from across the pond, including Cameron Tringale, Tom Hoge, Sahith Theegala, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, and J.T. Poston. Other notable players include Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley, and Adam Hadwin. Past PLAYERS Championship winners Rickie Fowler and Jason Day are also playing, as is defending champion, Cameron Champ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keys to Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The overriding feature and defense of TPC Twin Cities is one of mankind’s most basic needs for survival – water. But for the 156 golfers teeing it up on Thursday, their main goal is to stay as far away from the wet stuff as possible. 27 lakes dot the 235-acre property, which includes 13 holes with direct water danger. With windy conditions in the forecast starting on Thursday afternoon, players who have the accuracy off the tee to keep their ball dry and who are strong ball-strikers with their irons to setup close birdie chances will have the best opportunity to survive the cut-line and propel themselves up the leaderboard over the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
