3M Open golf: ‘It’s crunch time.’ Could struggling stars join field in hopes of securing spot in playoffs?

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 15:54:47 GMT

J.T. Poston did not originally plan on playing in the 3M Open this year. It was understandable. Minnesota’s PGA Tour stop is not located on a favorable spot on the schedule — one week after The Open Championship across the pond.Even with a tournament-provided charter to the Twin Cities from Royal Liverpool in England, it’s a tough ask for many of the game’s top players to ignore the jet lag and fatigue and tee it up in Blaine the very next week after a major championship.But Poston’s plans have changed in recent weeks. The 30-year-old announced ahead of this week’s John Deere Classic, where he’s the defending champion, that he’ll indeed play in Minnesota again this summer.“Love the golf course,” Poston said of TPC Twin Cities at a news conference Wednesday. “I was planning on having a week off before (the Wyndham Championship) and playoffs, but right now I have to make sure I’m in the playoffs.”That’s the ...

Kevin Costner, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins play out one of cinema’s great romantic triangles in Ron Shelton’s delicious mixture of atmospheric sports movie and sexy rom-com. Watch it, and see if you don’t find yourself joining the Church of Baseball.“A League of Their Own” (1992)Penny Marshall’s irresistible comedy-drama follows a competitive pair of sisters (Geena Davis, Lori Petty) who join the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League — which was a real thing, from 1943 to 1954. You’ll laugh (“There’s no crying in baseball!”), you’ll cry (that scene of Davis in her boardinghouse room weeping gets me EV...
