At the top is Thorbjørn Olesen, as he backed up his opening 62 with a second-round 66 to move the lead out to 14 under. Olesen is one of the many players who entered the week needing a win to move into the FedEx Cup Playoffs,

Thorbjorn Olesen worked out of trouble more than once Friday at the TPC Twin Cities to take a one-stroke lead over Jake Knapp into the weekend in the 3M Open.

One day after he set a tournament record by shooting a 60, Canadian Adam Svensson shot a 4-over-par 75 and made the 36-hole cut. Thursday’s first round included eight birdies and an eagle, and he credited a sizzling putter that had never been better in his life.

The PGA Tour has moved from last week's British Open in Ireland to Minnesota for the annual 3M Open. It's offering an $8.4 million purse, with $1.512 million to the winner. Maverick McNealy, at No. 18, is the highest ranked player in the field and one of three top-25 players, along with Sam Burns (22) and Wyndham Clark (25).

Guys like Thorbjorn Olesen and Alex Noren are finding their desired results, while the likes of Frankie Capan III are still looking.

Tour coach: Vincent Whaley (75-1, Bet365) — Whaley’s main attribute is accuracy off the tee. That will serve him very well at the 3M Open. He had another strong week last week at the Barracuda, so with these odds, I think it’s a smart bet.

Golf Central examines notable golfers outside the top 70 of the FedExCup Playoffs and how they fared in second-round action at the 3M Open, including Max Homa, Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim, and others.

Kizzire's second shot bounced off the 3M Open's floating logo in the water and landed in the rough next to the green. Instead of taking a penalty stroke, Kizzire was a chip and a putt away from a birdie on the par 5, which he accomplished with much less drama.
