Bryson DeChambeau’s strong final three rounds highlighted how score-friendly conditions were.

Justin Thomas struggles (10:40–12:20): Despite excellent iron play & short game, JT lost a full stroke off the tee, continuing his season-long accuracy woes, finishing T34 (-3). Bryson fade failure (13:20–15:50): After a 78 in round one, DeChambeau rebounded with 65-68-64, finishing T10, spoiling fade bets. Betting recap (16:00–20:40): Russell Henley cashed a +350 top-10, Matthew Fitzpatrick delivered +333 top-10, while sleeper Christopher Reeding missed top-20 by 2 shots. Futures review (21:00–25:00): Futures on Tom Kim, Sahith Theegala, and Davis Thompson were failures, collectively costing 3 units. 3M Open preview (26:00–35:40): Course needs long iron ball-strikers (e.g., Finau, Champ), with Will predicting -19 as the winning score under wet but playable conditions.
