The Auburn alum, who arrived 120th in the FedExCup standings, is making his fourth visit to the 3M with cashes in each of the previous three, all between 34th and 46th-place. His best is T34 at the inaugural in 2019, where he was T4 after R1 (65-74-67-66), and this is the fifth time this season in 26 events that he’s in the top 10 after R1, first since the RBC Heritage back in April, where he was T10 before finishing T26 (67-71-70-69). On eight (of 14) fairways and 14 greens in regulation, the 36-year-old gained 3.564 strokes tee-to-green and 1.217 on-the-green, offsetting two bogey-5s at 14 and 15 (failed scrambles) with five birdies at 10, 1, 4, 7 and 9, four from between 11 and 26 feet.
