Alright, golf fanatics, buckle up. The 2026 3M Open is heating up, and Friday’s second round at TPC Twin Cities is shaping up to be a barn burner. You don’t want to miss a single shot, do you?

Who's Making Noise? Scheffler's Charge and the Hunt for the Lead

Let’s be real, when Scottie Scheffler is in the mix, everyone’s eyes are on him. Despite a season that’s been… well, a bit quieter than expected for a World No. 1, he’s showing signs of life. A blistering 65 in the first round? Yeah, that’s Scheffler doing Scheffler things. He’s not leading, not yet, but he’s right there, breathing down the neck of Ben Kohles, who’s currently holding the top spot. Three shots back is where Scheffler sits, and you better believe he’s not planning on staying there. We’ve got a three-way tie for second place too, so the pressure is on. This isn’t just a one-man show; it’s a full-blown competition, and Friday’s round is where things really start to get interesting. Expect some serious fireworks as players jockey for position.

Scheffler himself is set to tee off for his second round at a juicy 1:44 p.m. ET. Mark that down. That’s prime viewing time, folks. You don’t want to be scrambling for the remote when he’s stepping up to the first tee. This is the kind of golf that makes you remember why you fell in love with the game in the first place. The tension, the skill, the sheer drama of it all. It’s going to be a wild ride.
