The 3M Championship
Thursday, July 25thMr. Commish,
Oooof! What a weekend. My Open pick of Tyrrell Hatton played so badly during the second round that he carried his own bag on one hole. And after being near the top heading into the weekend, Michael Thorbjornsen's disastrous third and fourth rounds resulted in him getting lapped by the field for a really poor finish. I need to right the ship quickly as we head into the home stretch!
When you do an internet search of Blaine, MN, the "People Also Ask" section of the Google results page poses several other questions that are commonly searched for. One of them asks, "What is Blaine famous for?" It turns out there are two things; the National Sports Center soccer complex, and also Minnesota's only PGA TOUR event, this week's 3M Open. Incidentally, one of the other frequently asked questions is, "How many chickens can you have in Blaine, MN?" The answer is six. No roosters, however. Hens only. You can even get your chicken permit here. What can we say? The northern suburb of Blaine offers a bit of everything. Come for the soccer and golf, stay for the highly regulated chicken coops.
There are only a handful of top players at the 3M since this tournament falls on the heels of the Open. You will also notice a palpable stench hanging in the air over TPC Twin Cities, and it's not because of all those neighborhood chickens. That, my friend, is the smell of desperation. Only two tournaments left until the FedEx Cup playoffs, you see. And with tougher qualification criteria this year, only the top 70 get in. Fear is a great motivator! My guy, currently sitting at 76th in the FedEx Cup standings, is on the outside looking in. A gourmand with a penchant for the finer things in life, look for him to play well in the North Star State to keep his season going. Playing out of St. Simons Island, give it up for the kid from Chattanooga, the former Georgia Bulldog, Mr. "Cashmere" Keith Mitchell!
