2023 3M Open leaderboard, scores: Lee Hodges' 63 gives him lead after Round 1 at TPC Twin Cities

Hodges is at the top of a crowded leaderboard after 18 holes

The post-major championship hangover is wearing off, and golf is being played at TPC Twin Cities as the 3M Open is underway. The afternoon looked like an Open Championship with how hard the wind was blowing, but the scoring on Thursday was not major-like. It was, as it was expected to be, low and bountiful.

Lee Hodges (-8) leads after shooting a magnificent 63 in a first round suspended . He has horses all around him, though, including multi-time PGA Tour winners, thriving young players ready to break out and a handful of veterans looking for their first win in a while.

Add it all up, and there are 43 golfers within five of Hodges' lead. There is, as they say, a long way to go. Let's look at what went down on Thursday, though, and what to expect from a surprisingly nice field in Minnesota.
