While millions around the country celebrated the Fourth of July on Thursday, some of the biggest stars on the PGA Tour made the trip to Blaine, Minnesota, for the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities.
Scott Piercy stands alone atop the leaderboard at nine under. Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Hadwin are tied for second at seven under, with five golfers claiming a share of fourth place at six under.
An excellent back nine anchored Piercy's performance. He birdied No. 11 and then reeled off five more birdies to overtake Matsuyama and Hadwin for the lead.
Piercy was already up a shot on the pair when he headed for the 18th tee.
