Round 2 PGA, single-round Showdown. The top plays overall, the best ball-strikers, the best value, the best cash plays — and the super-sharp low-owned leverage that wins tournaments.
Round 1 of the 3M Open is done and we're onto the Round 2 (PGA) single-round Showdown — 6 golfers, no captain, $50K cap, the whole field live. One round, flat pricing, and the winning lineups will be built on ceiling and leverage, not safe pars.
TPC Twin Cities is a birdie-fest that rewards ball-striking, not putting — the greens are among the easiest on Tour, so the separator is who hits fairways and stuffs irons. That's the spine of this playbook: the top plays overall, the best ball-strikers by real Strokes Gained, the best value, the best cash plays, and — because we finally have real projected ownership — the super-sharp leverage plays to get different from the field. Free look below; everything actionable is behind the paywall.
Round 2 setup — how R1 played
Ben Kohles leads at -9. Behind him: Emiliano Grillo, Jackson Koivun and Gary Woodland at -7; Scottie Scheffler, Lucas Glover, Michael Brennan, Kevin Roy and Jesper Svensson at -6. It went low — you'll need a big Round 2 number to place, so we lean ceiling and ball-striking. And note the ownership pile-up at the top: Kurt Kitayama (26.5%) and Scheffler (25%) are the chalk, which opens real leverage just below them.
The free look: the top plays by projection. Studs, ball-strikers, value, cash plays, and the leverage board are below the line.
