Cameron the Champ at the 3M Open

What a win for Cameron Champ who earned his third tour win at the 3M Open in Minnesota.

After struggling to find consistent form over the past few years, Champ carded a bogey-free 66 to win by two shots over Louis Oosthuizen, Jhonattan Vegas and Charl Schwartzel at -13.

He benefited off 54 hole leader Cameron Tringale having a difficult day with a 74 to finish outside the top 10.



For Champ, he put himself in trouble off the tee on the 72nd hole and after laying up twice, he struck his gap wedge perfectly from 127 yards. After spinning back, the ball finished in a comfortable range as Champ walked away with an unlikely par to win the tournament.

It was the first win since his triumph at the Safeway Open in 2019. What this means is that Champ moves from 142 on the FedEx Cup leaderboard to 49 as he picked up 500 points. He has now qualified for the playoffs which begins at the Northern Trust in New York on August 19.

In news from around the leaderboard, Patrick Reed who will replace Bryson Dechambeau at the Tokyo Olympics, finished nine off the pace at six under, joined by first round co-leader Rickie Fowler.
