Dustin Johnson will be the man to beat in Minnesota. Despite firing two rounds in the 80s last week at Muirfield Village, confidence is high in Johnson for the 3M Open as he takes 12/1 odds into the week, according to golfodds.com. With a win just a few weeks ago, we’ll chalk up his poor play in Ohio as an aberration.
Coming in just behind Johnson is Brooks Koepka at 14/1 odds. The four-time major winner has had struggles of his own as of late with just one top 10 on the season, but much of that can be attributed to a nagging knee injury. He’ll be making his second career appearance at the 3M Open, though he finished in 65th last summer.
Tony Finau and Tommy Fleetwood are among the favorites as well, both owning 16/1 odds. Finau is coming off a rough Sunday at the Memorial, though he did put forth a strong effort other than that final-round hiccup, while Fleetwood is making his first start since golf’s restart. The last time the Englishman was in action was at the truncated Players Championship back in March.
Defending champion Matthew Wolff rounds out the top five at 20/1 odds, as he returns to the site of his only PGA Tour victory.
