The PGA heads to TPC Twin Cities in Minnesota for the 3M Open. The course is listed at 7,451 yards, however gamers can lower corners and fly over hazards, successfully taking part in nearer to 7,200 yards. The greens are massive and profitable scores are normally nearer to twenty below (except climate is an element). There may be water on 12 of the 18 holes, so if you happen to preserve your ball exterior the penalty space, you may count on birdies wherever.
The participant I’ll play in opposition to can hit it a great distance off the tee and play his method nicely, particularly lengthy irons, to at the very least give me a birdie probability. In line with historic course match, accuracy is nice right here, however there are some contenders and winners that positively bomb it.
Switching gears from the everyday placement market, listed here are a few of my favourite gamers this week.
Odds by DK Sports activities (Consists of tie) Topic to alter.
Group C Winner: Doug Jim +315
Different members of the group: Corey Connors, Ben James, Max Homa, Sungjae Im
Within the case of Birdie Fest, Gim could spike. Though he ranks 124th in putts, he ranks nineteenth in birdies, so it may be stated that his ball strikes are giving him an opportunity. In case your putter warms up a bit bit, your scores can rapidly enhance. The remainder of the sport goes nicely, with the staff ending tenth in regulation from tee to inexperienced and eleventh on the inexperienced. In case you say his placing is impartial for everybody by means of 4 rounds, Gim can be the favourite of the group as a result of his all-around recreation is healthier than most. Connors has the higher long-term pedigree, however Gim is extra stable in a latest 32-round pattern.
Group F Winner: Ben Coles +325
Different members of the group: Casey Jarvis, Jason Day, Bo Hossler, Max Glaserman
Coles was fourth on method, sixth from tee to inexperienced and first on inexperienced in regulation. If he has a mean placing week, he will not be ok to win on this group, however he might nonetheless contend for at the very least a top-10 end within the event. His iron play is an ideal match for TPC Twin Cities, and he has persistently improved in his method and ball strike. Moreover, his latest traits have been quietly wonderful. After lacking the lower in fast succession in Might, Coles has since recorded 5 consecutive top-30 finishes, together with a T3 win on the John Deere Traditional and a win on the Korn Ferry Tour.
DFS Play: Jackson Suber, $8900
Suber’s situation is on the rise. He ranks within the high 15 in fantasy factors scored and birdie or higher proportion, and has proven sturdy iron play of late. He completed fourth at RBC Canada after which adopted up with a decent T28 on the U.S. Open. His total 2026 season appears to be like ugly because of a collection of missed cuts early within the season. However since Might, he is been a distinct golfer, with six top-30s and three top-10s in his previous eight begins. He is been making birdies, his method recreation has heated up during the last couple of months, and his latest finishes are higher than the season-long stats would counsel.
Fade: Jake Knapp, $9,400
Knapp has upside, however at this value there are sufficient purple flags to think about elsewhere. He hasn’t fairly been in type recently, having missed the lower in three of his final 4 begins and ending T74 simply earlier than that. Experiences of a lingering wrist/thumb harm (he wore a customized brace on the US Open) have additional raised issues. That is particularly vital for gamers whose video games depend on producing velocity off the tee. TPC Twin Cities is an effective match for his strengths, however will value him the cap in DFS. If Knapp had significant possession, I’d pivot to a more healthy golfer with related advantages.
Fade: Keith Mitchell, $9,500
his latest type, he charges as one of many most secure gamers on the sector. Over the previous 32 rounds, his profile has certainly been sturdy. He’s tenth in birdie or higher proportion and 4th in strokes gained off the tee. My concern is that he has missed the lower twice in his final six begins and has T51. He has change into extra unstable recently. I would not be shocked if Mitchell contends. Due to this fact, placement betting could make extra sense than DFS. Save a bit wage or spend it on somebody becoming a member of your organization with a extra dependable and trendy type.
