The major season is over, and PGA Tour golf returns this week to TPC Twin Cities for the 3M Open. However, the start of the event has been anything but smooth. A rash of early withdrawals forced the tournament to fill spots with sponsor exemptions.

The half-eaten burgers and fries and other food waste tossed by spectators at this week’s 3M Open in Blaine are not going to a landfill. Instead, they will go to Turtle Lake, Wis., and into a newly expanded plant that turns biowaste into electricity.
