Erik van Rooyen needs a caddie for the PGA Tour’s 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota, starting on Thursday. That’s because his usual bagman, Alex Gaugert, booked a spot into the 156-man field on Monday. Gaugert, who is listed as a resident of nearby Edina, shot 6-under 65 at Victory Links and survived a 4-for-3 playoff to earn his first PGA Tour start.
