T6. Cameron Davis, Matthew Wolff (-9)– Wolffs tee-to-green video game faded a bit on Friday, however I doubt that happens two days in a row. He was buoyed by a fantastic putter in Round 2, which might be his salvation this week when he reflects on how he constructed a four-round run at repeating his very first win on Tour. This occasion needs a little juice, and Wolff will enjoy to require on Saturday and Sunday. He might become the youngest gamer to win an occasion in two straight years in over a century.
Tony Finau, Talor Gooch (-11)– Speaking of lasting on Saturday and Sunday … Tony Finau has a big weekend on deck. He may not do it in the end, but you d still like to some battle from somebody who– in spite of his outrageous talent– sort of rolled over last weekend at Muirfield Village. He was buoyed by a fantastic putter in Round 2, which could be his salvation this week when he looks back on how he built a four-round run at repeating his very first win on Tour. He made a 38-foot birdie putt on Friday and still finished almost last in putting for the week. Its easy to discuss this away as knocking the rust off but, remember, prior to the Tour paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fleetwood missed the cut (severely) at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and shot 78 in Round 1 of the Players Championship.
He made a 38-foot birdie putt on Friday and still ended up nearly last in putting for the week. There are some issues to work out before he plays for his 3rd straight PGA Championship here in two weeks, and Im not sure just playing more golf at next weeks WGC event in Memphis is going to help resolve those issues. This is his second missed out on cut in his last 3 occasions.
Its easy to discuss this away as knocking the rust off but, keep in mind, prior to the Tour stopped briefly due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fleetwood missed out on the cut (badly) at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and shot 78 in Round 1 of the Players Championship. His golf has actually been below average in three straight tournaments.

There werent rather as numerous fireworks in Round 2 on Friday as there remained in Round 1 on Thursday at the 3M Open. We still have plenty of intriguing stories entering into the weekend at TPC Twin Cities, however, including what would be a huge bounceback from someone who melted a bit coming home last weekend at the Memorial.
Lets delve into the leaderboard for Round 2 and have a look at what to look for in the third round.
Hes had a strong career in which hes won before (2013 Honda Classic) and finished runner-up at a significant (2012 U.S. Open). Even more than that, his statistical profile this week is one that is more sustainable. Thats not as likely to last on Saturday and Sunday.
T3. Tony Finau, Talor Gooch (-11)– Speaking of lasting on Saturday and Sunday … Tony Finau has a huge weekend on deck. Here are the truths: Of the big names still in the field at this tournament, Finau is playing (without a doubt) the best golf. So whats rolling through the mind on Saturday and Sunday afternoon? Whats in the well when you go to it late on each day? Finau getting rid of his caddie after last week tells me he knows something (something!) needs to change which he requires to go get a good win. So, thats appealing. He may refrain from doing it in the end, however you d still like to some battle from somebody who– regardless of his outrageous talent– sort of rolled over last weekend at Muirfield Village. He has 33 top-10 finishes over the last four years and absolutely no wins. Time to go get one against a field you need to beat.
