Scheffler thrives on big crowds after a 65 to open at the 3M Open
Scottie Scheffler shot a six-under 65 in the opening round of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities, leaving him just one behind leader Emiliano Grillo after six birdies and 12 pars. Afterward, he said the Minnesota crowds were a ton of fun and acknowledged that playing in front of a big crowd is enjoyable, even if it isn’t the primary motivator. Scheffler added the event to his schedule to avoid a long break between The Open and the FedEx Cup Playoffs as he pursues a potential second win of 2026.
