#4 Sepp Straka

Austrian professional golfer Sepp Straka had a sensational campaign in the recently concluded Open Championship, where he finished tied runner-up. However, the two-time PGA Tour winner had a change of fortunes in the 2023 3M Open, where he missed the cut by a margin of four strokes.

#3 Gary Woodland

The US Open 2019 champion Gary Woodland had a terrible outing at the TPC Twin Cities, Minnesota. His 2023 3M Open campaign came to an end after a 3 over 145 aggregate score finish.

Woodland stands 95th in the FedEx Cup rankings and will certainly not make it into the playoffs in the postseason event.

#2 Cameron Young

The World No. 15 came in the 2023 3M Open as a top-ranked golfer from the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR). However, he missed his third cut of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season.

Cameron Young stands in eighth rank on the Ryder Cup standings, but his outing at TPC Twin Cities will definitely affect his chances to make it into the US team for the upcoming biennial event.

#1 Justin Thomas

30-year-old American professional golfer Justin Thomas was playing in his first 3M Open this year. However, he had a forgettable outing at TPC Twin Cities and missed the cut by merely two strokes.
