Playoffs Bubble boys preach patience at 3M Open
BLAINE, Minn. – Andrew Putnam tries not to think about it, but it's an unavoidable reality for PGA TOUR golfers. For most of the year, players are focused on the shot in front of them, doing their best not to think about the next hole, round or tournament. But as the calendar turns to late July, pro golfers' minds begin to wander. In three weeks, the FedExCup Playoffs begin, with only the top 70 players in attendance. In four weeks, 50 players will guarantee their spot in next year's Signature Events. Who will be there?

Vazquez went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs, a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 9-3 win over Detroit. Vazquez reached base four times Friday, his first three-hit game since April. The veteran catcher now has three of his five home runs this season in the month of July. Vazquez is still splitting work with Ryan Jeffers, but he's gotten the upper hand recently as he's started 10 of the last 18 Twins games. The 33-year-old is hitting .280/.321/.507 with four homers over his last 75 at-bats and could be a name to watch down the stretch.

Canadian Taylor Pendrith leads the 3M Open in pursuit of his 2nd victory of the year
BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — Taylor Pendrith shot a 7-under 64 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead over Matt NeSmith into the weekend in the 3M Open. Playing in windier afternoon conditions, Pendrith made a 30-foot birdie putt on the par-4 16th and tapped in for another birdie on the par-5 18th. He had a 12-under 130 total at the TPC Twin Cities, playing the first 36 holes without a bogey. The 33-year-old Canadian won the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May in Texas for his first PGA Tour title. He tied for fifth last week in the Barracuda Championship in California. “Today was pretty tricky with the wind, it was blowing pretty hard at times, so my speed was great all day and stayed really patient,” Pendrith said. “I didn’t really have many good looks through the first hour I would say of golf and was able to stay patient and make a couple, made a couple longer ones, which was nice.”
