As one might expect after the British Open, the 3M Open field isn’t exactly chock full of big names with only eight of the top 40 ranked golfers.
Chris Gotterup, who won the Scottish Open and finished third in the British, is among the favorites in the Twin Cities tournament: +1800 at DraftKings Sportsbook and +2200 at Circa.
Gotterup is not among Wes Reynolds’ seven outright Best Bets, but Michael Thorbjornsen (35-1) is:
Thorbjornsen has had some near-misses this season in pursuit of his first PGA Tour victory. Second at Corales, fourth at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with Karl Vilips, and fourth at the Rocket Classic. Plus, he has gone 21st and 14th across his last two events. He has gone well in these Midwest low-scoring events with a runner-up at the John Deere last year and finishing just one shot out of the playoff in Detroit last month.
Wes, Kelley Bydlon and Matt Brown chop up the British Open and look ahead to the 3M on Long Shots, VSiN’s golf betting podcast.

His new Kentucky home
As he announced on yesterday’s VSiN By The Book, Dave Ross is moving to Kentucky to do his show from the new VSiN studio in the new Circa sportsbook in Franklin. That’s also home to The Mint Gaming Hall and the Kentucky Downs racetrack.
Earlier this year, longtime VSiN listener Scott D from North Carolina bought a generous gift certificate at Barry’s Prime in Circa for Dave, Mitch Moss, Pauly Howard and myself. Scott, just wanted you to know that we’re using it tonight to celebrate Dave’s final days in Las Vegas. Co-host Jensen Lewis will come down from Cleveland when we christen the studio in August.
