BLAINE, Minn. — Then there were two top-25 players left in the 3M Open field after No. 14 Hideki Matsuyama hit three balls in the water, made a nine on No. 18 and withdrew nine holes after that, citing a sore wrist.
The two remaining at the TPC Twin Cities are 24th-ranked Sungjae Im and No. 17 Tony Finau. Both are on the leaderboard's first page after a blustery summer day that favored those who played in Thursday morning's comparatively calm conditions.
Im is tied with PGA Tour veteran Scott Piercy for the lead after each shot a 6-under-par 65.
