Overview

  • Thorbjorn Olesen posted a second-round 66 at TPC Twin Cities to reach 14-under and edge one stroke clear at the 3M Open.
  • Padraig Harrington carded a bogey-free 65 at Sunningdale to move one shot in front of the Senior British Open field.
  • Adam Svensson’s opening-round 11-under 60 tied the course record but a 4-over 75 in Round 2 left him tied for 32nd.
  • Soft, rain-soaked greens at the 3M Open spurred historic low scoring and reshaped the leaderboard.
  • Steven Alker (63) and Mark Hensby (64) remain within striking distance as the Senior British Open heads into its weekend rounds.
