BLAINE, Minn. – Michael Thompson and Richy Werenski topped the 3M Open leaderboard going into the weekend, Tony Finau and Talor Gooch climbed within a stroke and stars Brooks Koepka and Tommy Fleetwood struggled again Friday.
In warmer and windier conditions on the quiet, spectator-free TPC Twin Cities course, the scores crept up after Werenski led the first-round pack with an 8-under 63. The 24-year-old, who's winless on the PGA Tour, followed up with a 67. Thompson caught him with a 66.
Koepka, at the other end of the board, was on the who's-who list of players to miss the cut.
