Billy Horschel was scheduled to contest the $8.1 million 3M Open in Blaine, Minnesota this week, but he didn't show up for yesterday's opening round at the TPC Twin Cities. Probably had something to do with his near-miss at The Open at Royal Troon last week, where he led by one stroke at 4 under par after three rounds (72-68-69-209).

    The popular ex-Gator posted a 3-under 68 in the Sunday finale, but his 7-under score left him two behind Xander Schauffele, who closed with a 6-under 65 and took home $3.1 million. Billy's take for his second-place deadlock with Justin Rose was $1,443,500 and he now has earned $39,221,692 since leaving Gainesville. Earlier this season he won the Corales Puntacana Championship.

    Ocalan Louis Oosthuizen missed the cut (+6) with 78-72; Tiger Woods imploded to 79-77; and such as Viktor Hovland, Tony Finau, Bryson Dechambeau, Ludvig Aberg, Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley all missed the cut, too.
