Justin Thomas' high school teammate among 3M Open Monday qualifiers

Four players qualified for this week's 3M Open via the Monday qualifier, including a two-time TOUR winner, two players set for their TOUR debut, and a former high school teammate of Justin Thomas.

SMU alum Jackson Markham earned medalist honors with a 7-under 64 at Victory Links GC to secure a tee time Thursday at TPC Twin Cities; it will mark his TOUR debut. Cooper Musselman and Anthony Maccaglia shared second place at 6-under 65; this will mark Maccaglia's TOUR debut, while Musselman (Thomas' two-year teammate at Saint Xavier High School in Louisville, Kentucky) will tee it up for the fifth time on TOUR.

Robert Streb, a two-time winner of The RSM Classic, survived a 5-for-1 playoff at 5-under 66 to nab the Monday qualifier's final spot. Streb outlasted the quartet of Tyler Strafaci, Beau Forest, Brian Dwyer and Jack Ebner in the playoff.

The 3M Open marks the penultimate event of the FedExCup Regular Season, with the top 70 after the Wyndham Championship qualifying for the three-event FedExCup Playoffs. This means heightened urgency for those around the top-70 bubble into the week in Minnesota, whereas the four qualifiers can play with more freedom, grateful for the chance to compete against some of the game's best. (Streb holds past champion status on TOUR and will perhaps eye an unlikely push to the FedExCup Playoffs.)
