The proceedings are underway in Minnesota at the 2022 3M Open. On a dry, windy day, the scores remained low as American golfer Scott Piercy shared the lead alongside Sungjae Im at 6-under 65. Apart from that, World no. 14 Hideki Matsuyama withdrew from the Open citing a sore wrist as he landed the ball in the water thrice on what was a miserable day for him. As the competition gets more intense, let’s take a look at the prize money distribution for the 156 members taking on the field.
