Beau Hossler's record-tying 62 not nearly enough at ultra-low 3M Open

Jul 30, 2023 | startribune.com | Brian Stensaas

Up early Sunday for a 7:43 a.m. tee time, Beau Hossler put his opening drive in the fairway, pitched to 17 feet and made the birdie. Four hours later he tapped in for a final round 9-under-par 62 at the 3M Open, took one last look at the leaderboard and called it a day. The tournament record-tying performance vaulted Hossler from a tie for 55th to start the day into a tie for fourth at 13 under with more than half the field still to finish.
Stillwater's Frankie Capan III regrets missed opportunities in Round 3 of 3M Open

Jul 29, 2023 | startribune.com | Brian Stensaas

A chip-in birdie to kick-start Saturday's third round at the 3M Open seemed a distant memory as Frankie Capan III moseyed through the ninth fairway toward his golf ball, resting on the green some 40 feet away from the cup. Capan's second shot at the difficult ninth came up short and wet, meaning the upcoming putt was for a front-nine-closing bogey. Calmly, the Stillwater product playing on a sponsor's exemption in front of scores of onlookers lined up his try and buried the roll.
Erik van Rooyen and Alex Gaugert complete 'dream' week at 3M Open

Jul 28, 2023 | startribune.com | Brian Stensaas

In a few days, Alex Gaugert will be back in the middle of a fairway with a heavy tour bag in one hand and whatever club Erik van Rooyen hands back to him in the other. But over 36 dream-come-true holes this week at TPC Twin Cities, Gaugert and van Rooyen were not boss and caddie but early-round competitors on the PGA Tour. An added bonus: the former Gophers teammates were paired together by tournament officials.
