3M Open: Bryson DeChambeau in 3-way tie for 1st place | Sporting News

Bryson DeChambeau saw his 36-hole lead at the 3M Open wither away after newly minted pros Matthew Wolff and Collin Morikawa climbed up the leaderboard.

DeChambeau, who shot a career-low 62 Friday, entered Saturday’s round without the same success he saw previously in the week.

He recorded just two birdies and one bogey, but the five-time Tour winner made shots when it counted, including a birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole to move back into a three-way tie for the lead.

DeChambeau finished the day with a 1-under 70.

Wolff used 10 birdies to join the group in control at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. He carded six on the front nine, five of which came consecutively right before the turn. Wolff could have been the solo leader but a birdie on the par-3 17th hole moved him back to 15 under for the tournament.

He shot the low round of the day, a 9-under 62, with a number of highlights to take into the final round.

Morikawa, who like Wolff is fresh out of college, was also able to round up some birdies to finish with a 7-under 64.

Wyndham Clark and Adam Hadwin trail in fourth place (14 under) while Hideki Matsuyama, Charles Howell III and Troy Merritt are tied for sixth (13 under).

There’s a sizable tie for ninth place (12 under) that includes Scott Piercy, who had one of the best putts of the day. Piercy sunk a 54-foot putt on the 14th hole that looked as if it wouldn’t drop in. When it did, Piercy celebrated one of the few highlights of his round as he finished with a 2-under 69.
