This Player at 60-1 Odds Looks Like a Great Bet at 3M Open

One week after nailing their British Open picks, the hosts preview the 3M Open, where under-the-radar picks (and one in particular) have a great shot to pay off.

The British Open is in the books, and our hosts are riding the wave, as Rotowire's Scott Jenstad nailed Collin Morikawa, while Morning Read's Jeff Ritter opted for Jordan Spieth, who still paid off handsomely in daily fantasy formats. 

Now their attention turns to the 3M Open, which has the look of a potential shoot-out on what should be a warm, muggy weekend in Minnesota.

From the top tier of players, Jenstad likes Dustin Johnson, while Ritter is on Patrick Reed. But in the next tier down, Jenstad loves Bubba Watson and taps him as his best bet to win the event. Ritter likes Emiliano Grillo and Luke List, while Jeff Erickson is onto Robert "Bobby Mac" MacIntyre and Patton Kizzire.

Everyone agrees that at 60-1, Jhonattan Vegas is a fantastic, under-the-radar sleeper based on his statistical profile (bombs away) and his recent form -- he's made 12 of 13 cuts. 

In the end there can only be one, and here are the hosts' one-and-done picks for the 3M Open:

Jenstad: Bubba Watson
Ritter: Patrick Reed
Erickson: Robert MacIntyre
