3M Open expert picks

The Golfing Gazette experts have made their picks for this week’s 3M Open.

Jordan Harris: Max Homa seems to be trending in a good direction. This is a great opportunity to win again on the PGA Tour.

Peter Lynch: It’s been a very tough run for Jake Knapp lately, but I think he bounces back in style this week!

Charlie Walker: I’m picking Rasmus Hojgaard to win this week’s 3M Open. It’s a weaker field post-Open Championship, and exactly the type of tournament where a player can grab their first PGA Tour win.

James Shearman: Ben James was the second-best amateur golfer in the world, behind Jackson Koivun, before turning professional earlier this year. He has since enjoyed top-15 finishes at the Corales Puntacana Championship and the Isco Championship. James could take advantage of another lesser field at the 3M Open.
