There have been three stagings of the 3M Open and we have had three triple figure winners so there is no fear in looking wide this week.
Best Bet
Well-travelled veteran Sungjae Im never seems to miss a golf tournament and he is in a very winnable tournament this week with few stars including a second favourite who is likely to be announced as defecting to LIV this week. Im has an excellent all-round game and this week ranks 3rd in Bogey Avoidance, 9th in Eagles, 11th in Strokes Gained: Tee To Green and 13th in GIR. With Top 21 finishes in the last two Arnold Palmers and a Top 10 in the last Rocket Mortgage, he is the standout among the favourites.
Mid-Tier Bet
Quality player who has finished Top 8 in the last two Rocket Mortgage Classics, the Detroit event that is one of the key correlation tournaments. He lost last year in a playoff. He has a 7th and a 39th here in three starts. Ranks 20th in Strokes Gained: Putting.
Value Bet
Made four straight cuts with a Top 15 in that run. Ranks 16th in GIR and 23rd in Eagles. Profiles nicely for a win here with winners like Champ and Wolff big hitters with an aggressive streak.
Longshot Bet
PGA Tour veteran who won the sister event the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2019. He ranks 16th in Putting Average on Tour this year. He is getting back to his best this year too with five Top 20s on Tour this season including two in his last five starts.
