2022 3M Open odds, field notes, best bets and picks to win

We’re pretty sure the world of golf is going to be feeling a hangover-type come down from the festivities at the 150th Open. Our reward for pushing through the long weekend?

The 3M Open.

Tony Finau, coming off a T-28 at the Old Course, is the betting favorite at +1200. Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im are next at +1500. Chez Reavie won the opposite field event last week at the Barracuda Championship and sits at +3000.

TPC Twin Cities is a par-71 layout that will measure 7,431 yards this week.

There aren’t many star-level names in this field, so we’ll have to find some value farther down the board.
