DraftKings 3M Open preview

With all the majors for this year in the rearview mirror, there are only two PGA TOUR events left on the schedule before the FedExCup Playoffs begin. This week we head to Minnesota for the 3M Open. TPC Twin Cities will be the host course, and measures as a 7,431-yard par 71, featuring Bentgrass greens.

The field this week will be headlined by defending champion Tony Finau, along with Cameron Young, Sungjae Im and a struggling Justin Thomas.

Below, I have outlined three of my favorite DraftKings plays for the week.

GOLFERS TO CONSIDER

Cameron Young ($10,900)

After having a relatively poor season (by his standards), Young has really turned it on as of late. It started three weeks ago when he lit up the John Deere Classic en route to a T6 finish. He gained strokes on approach and with the putter in three of his four rounds at TPC Deere Run, which was a very encouraging sign. Young then parlayed that into another dominant ball-striking performance this past week at The Open Championship.

The New York native put on a clinic at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, gaining just under 10 strokes on approach for the week, while adding 5.7 more strokes off the tee. A poor putting performance kept him from truly contending down the stretch, but he still finished T8 and appears dialed in here as we head toward the FedExCup Playoffs.

TPC Twin Cities is going to yield some low scores, much like TPC Deere Run did, and Young should have no problem overpowering this golf course. At $10,900 on DraftKings, he is certainly no bargain, but is in the best form of any golfer above $10,000, making him the easy choice to start your lineups with this week.

Vincent Norrman ($8,100)

Norrman is emerging as the next big star on the PGA TOUR. He’s coming off his first career victory two weeks ago at the Barbasol Championship, where he gained strokes in every major category en route to a playoff victory. He was especially dominant off the tee, gaining 5.19 strokes for the week. One week after the win, the Swede showed up at the Barracuda Championship and displayed no signs of a hangover, finishing in a tie for 25th.

Overall, Norrman has been a bit hit-or-miss this season, but has done quite well at most of the “easier” tracks on the PGA TOUR schedule. He finished T21 in Puerto Rico, T24 in Punta Cana, T18 in Mexico and T24 at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, in addition to his two most recent strong outings. He should have no problem posting plenty of birdies at a track that’s ceded winning scores of 21 under, 19 under and 17 under in three of the past four years.

Norrman feels like a bargain at this $8,100 price tag.

Greyson Sigg ($7,200)

Sigg is in the midst of his best stretch of golf since the fall, having posted a pair of top-20 finishes across his past five starts, making the cut in four of those. His lone MC came last week at the Barracuda, however he rebounded quickly from a first-round 75 to post a second-round 64.

Overall, Sigg ranks 13th in SG: Tee-to-Green over his past 16 rounds in this field. He has only played this event once but finished T7 in his lone start last season. Sigg is certainly underpriced for how he’s been playing lately and makes for a strong value option at $7,200
