Thorbjorn Olesen Leads 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities

At the 3M Open held at TPC Twin Cities, Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen leads after two rounds with a 14-under total, overcoming a double bogey on the 15th hole with strong iron play and key birdies. He holds a one-stroke advantage over Jake Knapp, who remains bogey-free through 36 holes and seeks his second PGA Tour win, currently positioned 55th in the FedEx Cup standings. Pierceson Coody and Sam Stevens trail closely, while notable players like Wyndham Clark, Chris Gotterup, Akshay Bhatia, and Joel Dahmen are tied at 10 under. Adam Svensson, who set a course record with an 11-under 60 in the first round, struggled with a 75 in the second round, dropping down the leaderboard. With two weeks left in the regular PGA Tour season, several players including Knapp, Matti Schmid, and Chris Kirk remain in contention for the FedEx Cup Playoffs, where the top 70 advance. Olesen, a European Tour regular with nine international wins but none on the PGA Tour, is aiming for his first victory in the United States, taking each week as a fresh opportunity.
