Thorbjorn Olesen Takes the 2nd-Round Lead in the 3M Open
ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 26 – Thorbjorn Olesen leads at 14 under par, one stroke ahead of Jake Knapp, as 23 players remain within five shots at the 3M Open heading into the weekend.
- On Friday, Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen shot a second-round 66 to reach 14 under par, seizing a one-stroke lead at the 3M Open.
- Needing a boost in the standings, Thorbjorn Olesen, a European Tour regular with nine victories, entered the week 129th in FedEx Cup standings and needs a win to reach the top 70.
- Olesen recovered from a double bogey on the par-4 15th with consecutive birdies, following his opening 9-under 62 with a 66 and hitting from the rough for a crucial 5-foot birdie.
- With 23 players inside five shots of Olesen’s lead, with Jake Knapp at 13 under as the closest pursuer, the tight leaderboard remains highly competitive entering the weekend.
- The 70-man FedEx Cup playoffs start Aug. 7 in Memphis, and a win would push Olesen inside the top 60 to secure his spot.
