Scottie Scheffler is Making a Strange Start at 3M Open
In the seven years of this tournament's lifespan on the PGA Tour, Scottie Scheffler has never made the trip to TPC Twin Cities before. This includes the few years before he turned into the most dominant player on the planet, so his name amongst this field seems odd considering the next closest player in the world ranking to him playing this week is 30th. Nevertheless, he'll tee it up Thursday as the presumed overwhelming favorite. His PGA Tour-leading strokes gained from tee to green average (1.655) can compete anywhere, and the amazing approach play that fell off in Scotland returned last week at Royal Birkdale to gain over six strokes across four rounds. The problem is getting Scheffler into a DFS lineup given his ginormous price, but for those who can make it work, he's a no-brainer.

Maverick McNealy Looking to Continue Strong Season at 3M Open
Maverick McNealy has put together a very solid season, recording nine top-25 finishes with only two missed cuts through 17 events. He looks to keep the momentum going at the 3M Open, where he has finishes of T16, T49, T3, and a missed cut in four appearances. TPC Twin Cities typically rewards accuracy off the tee, precision on approach, and converting opportunities on and around the greens. McNealy ranks 63rd off the tee (+0.127 strokes per round), 113th on approach (-0.103), 18th in putting (+0.432), and 13th around the greens (+0.358). His biggest concern is precision, where he ranks 122nd in driving accuracy and 143rd in proximity from 175-200 yards, a range that accounted for 22% of all approach shots here last year. McNealy is one of the stronger players in this field, and if he can have even a neutral week with his irons, his elite short game gives him a chance to contend.

Tom Kim Looking to Shake Off Open Championship Letdown at 3M Open
It was a disappointing two days at Royal Birkdale for Tom Kim after winning the Scottish Open the previous week. With rounds of 70-73, he missed the cut by two shots, most notably due to a bad driving week that cost him over two and a half shots over rounds one and two. He still excelled in his approach play, but everything else was certainly off compared to his performance at the Renaissance Club the week before. The 24-year-old is making his third career appearance at this week's 3M Open, where he's turned in top 30 finishes both times previously. He has the approach play necessary to thrive around TPC Twin Cities, but he'll need a more accurate week off the tee to have any real success. Still, he's one of the more talented players in the field from top to bottom, and would make a decent DFS asset to lineups.

Johnny Keefer Offers Strong Value at the 3M Open
Johnny Keefer has put together a solid first year on Tour, recording three top-25 finishes, including two third-place results, in 21 starts. He now turns to the 3M Open, where he is making his tournament debut. TPC Twin Cities typically rewards accuracy off the tee, precision on approach, and converting opportunities on and around the greens. Keefer ranks ninth in strokes gained off the tee (+0.589 per round), 15th on approach (+0.508), and 22nd in total driving. His biggest weakness has been the short game, where he ranks 141st in putting (-0.436) and 149th around the green (-0.391). Encouragingly, he has gained strokes in both categories in each of his last two starts. At $7,800 on DraftKings, Keefer offers plenty of upside in this price range.
