APTOPIX 3M Open Golf Tony Finau places the ball to his chest and reacts to his putt for par on the 17th green during the final round of the 3M Open golf tournament at the Tournament Players Club in Blaine, Minn., Sunday, July 24, 2022. James Hahn surged up the board with a 65 to match Piercy and Tom Hoge (70) at 13 under. On the daunting par-5 18th, Finau found the water off the tee to face one final challenge. With Piercy looking on from the fairway, Finau made a 3-footer for bogey to seal it. Finau, who tied for third at the 3M Open in 2020, jumped from 30th to 17th in the FedEx Cup race.

Tony Finau shot a 4-under 67 to win the 3M Open by three strokes.

Playing through a painful blister on his right heel, the 43-year-old Piercy had a 18-under 195 total. It’s the sixth time Piercy has held at least a share of the 54-hole lead, the last coming at the 2016 WGC Bridgestone Invitational. “If (Piercy) brings half of his game from today to tomorrow, that’s going to be very tough,” Grillo said.

The four-time PGA Tour winner opened with a 65 on Thursday in windy conditions. Starting his afternoon round on the back nine, Piercy birdied the first four holes. Tarren was a stroke off the 3M Open tournament record.

Playing in the second group of the day off the first tee, Piercy made 151 feet worth of putts. 14 player, Matsuyama landed in the water three times on the unforgiving and lakeside 18th hole and took a quadruple-bogey 9. Matsuyama, the 2021 Masters winner and a fourth-place finisher at the U.S. Open earlier this summer, tied for seventh at the first edition of the 3M Open in 2019.

The longest week at The Players Championship is moving closer to a conclusion.

Sabbatini, the Olympic silver medalist last month, has used his momentum from Tokyo to make a charge in the playoff standings. Former FedEx Cup champion Justin Rose, who started the week 138th in the standings, shot 69 after a bogey on the final hole. Just ask Tyler Duncan, who made five birdies on his front nine to move up 61 spots in the playoff standings to 101st.

Olympic silver medalist Rory Sabbatini was tied for second with past champion Webb Simpson and playoff bubble man Scott Piercy. When Henley teed off, the first-round leader had already been passed by Sabbatini, Piercy and Simpson. It was a couple of months ago that Henley shared the halfway lead at the U.S. Open.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — (AP) — Emiliano Grillo had an early eagle in a 17-point round in smoky conditions Friday to take the second-round lead in the Barracuda Championship, the only PGA Tour event that uses the modified Stableford scoring system. Grillo, the 28-year-old Argentine player who won the 2016 Frys.com Open for his lone PGA Tour title, had a 29-point total on Tahoe Mountain Club’s Old Greenwood Course. “It could have been really good out there. “Just really have been driving the ball really well the last couple of days,” Schenk said. Andrew Putnam, Scott Piercy and Scott Harrington had 25 points, with Piercy 144th and Harrington 176th in the race for FedEx Cup playoff spots and PGA Tour cards.

It matched the most players who have had to withdraw from one tournament because of a positive test since the PGA Tour returned from the COVID-19 pandemic in June. The tour said Scott Piercy and Doc Redman also tested positive. Three players also tested positive before tournaments at the RSM Classic at Sea Island in November, and the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit in early July. The positive tests follow two weeks of the Florida events on the PGA Tour allowing limited fans, with roughly 8,000 in attendance at Bay Hill in Orlando and The Players Championship near Jacksonville. Woodland, who won the 2019 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and has been coping with a torn labrum in his hip, and Redman missed the cut at The Players Championship.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Four-time PGA Tour winner Scott Piercy lost two endorsement deals Thursday for sharing a homophobic meme poking fun at Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and referencing far-right conspiracy theory QAnon. Piercy this week shared a meme on Instagram on the news Buttigieg has suspended his campaign that included a reference to his sexuality as a gay man. He doesn't have a large following on Instagram -- just under 17,000 followers -- but posted an apology Tuesday "if any of my recent story posts have been offensive. According to Golf Digest, clothing maker J. Linebergh issued a statement Thursday that it ended its contract with Piercy. The claims from Scott Piercy were unacceptable and far from our views and beliefs," the statement said.
