The second round of the 2026 3M Open gets underway on Friday at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota.
Ben Kohles holds a two-stroke lead over the rest of the field at 9-under par after the opening round. With three days remaining, this tournament remains wide open.
Here are my picks and 3M Round 2 best bets.
3M Open Round 2 Best Bets
Michael Brennan Top-20 (-130 at DraftKings)
Michael Brennan had one of the best opening rounds of the day, finishing T5 at 6-under par. At -130, he is worth backing to maintain that momentum for the remainder of the week.
While TPC Twin Cities is a relatively easy stop on the PGA Tour schedule, the course still plays long and requires strong mid- to long-iron play. Last year, nearly 40% of approach shots came from the 150-200-yard range.
This setup makes Brennan a strong target in this market.
Entering this week, he ranks in the top-third of the PGA Tour in strokes gained: approach from 150-200 yards. Distance is also not an issue for Brennan, who ranks in the 97th percentile in driving distance and 98th percentile in strokes gained: off the tee.
Jackson Suber Top-20 (+152 at DraftKings)
Another golfer worth targeting in this market is Jackson Suber. Producing a solid opening round, Suber enters Friday T26 at 3-under par.
At +152, it's worth taking a shot on Suber to improve as the week progresses.
Like Brennan, Suber fits this course well.
His iron play has been stellar, as he has gained true strokes on approach in seven of his past eight tournaments. As a result, he has made the cut in all seven of those events, including four top-20 finishes.
One of those performances featured a T6 finish at the John Deere Classic. TPC Deere Run plays similarly to TPC Twin Cities, as both courses are long but easy to score on, with above-average fairway and green accuracy.
With greens relatively easy to hit, converting putts is critical in a birdie-fest. The good news for Suber is that his putter has been fantastic, as he has gained true strokes putting in each of his past four tournaments.
