Minneapolis Star Tribune mobile alert shades Lee Hodges after PGA win
Someone at the Minneapolis Star Tribune is very jaded with their job.
Lee Hodges won the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities in the Minneapolis suburbs over the weekend by an impressive seven strokes, but whoever sends out the mobile alerts for the local newspaper was not all jazzed up about the accomplishment.
The outlet sent out a mobile alert that said, “Golfer no one has ever heard of blows out no-name competition at Minnesota’s PGA Tour event.”
Someone at the Tribune must have noticed it rather quickly because a second alert went out that said, “Lee Hodges completes wire-to-wire victory at 3M Open, winning by seven shots (re-sent to correct headline).”
The Post has reached out to the Star Tribune to see if it has an explanation for what happened here.
Hodges took home a $1.4 million prize with the victory.
The purse raised his career earnings, which are now $3.6 million, by more than 50 percent.
Hodges was an 80-1 underdog entering the tournament.
“The process I went through, I’ll take this week forever,” Hodges said after the victory. “I’ll just try to keep replicating this week every time I show up to a tournament.”
Other golfers on the leaderboard at the 3M Open included Martin Laird, Kevin Streelman, J.T. Poston, Dylan Wu, Keith Mitchell, Sam Ryder, Tony Finau, Aaron Baddeley, Cameron Davis, Sam Stevens and Emilio Grillo.

Man seriously hurt after stabbing in Minneapolis on Nicollet Mall, suspect arrested
MINNEAPOLIS — A man in his 30s suffered life-threatening injuries after he was stabbed late Monday night on Nicollet Mall.
Officers from the Minneapolis Police Department and Metro Transit Police found the man bleeding around 11:53 p.m. on Nicollet Avenue and South 5th Street. They provided medical aid and the man was taken to Hennepin Healthcare Hospital.
Police then arrested the suspect, a 58-year-old man, about 30 minutes later near Colfax Avenue South and Lake Street. They tracked the man’s movements to that location on camera. He was also taken to the hospital for an injury that happened before the arrest.
Police say their early investigation indicates an altercation led up to the stabbing.
Police have not released more information on the victim’s status.
