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

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:57:01 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.

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...
