Fantasy Golf: 2022 3M Open DFS Player Selections
By Hans Geevers
This week, the PGA Tour returns to the United States for the 2022 3M Open.
The 3M Open will present golf fans with a quality field of talent, including defending champion Cameron Champ. Let’s take a look at this week’s PGA Tour event from a fantasy golf perspective.
Before I discuss my fantasy golf player selections I wanted to emphasize that the purpose of this article is not to provide an exact lineup for a specific fantasy provider.
Having stated that, this article will provide multiple player options in an effort to assist the reader in generating a unique lineup that will hopefully have the potential to win a GPP (guaranteed prize pool) contest!
Now let’s shift our attention to my favorite fantasy golf/DFS player selections
Fantasy Golf: 2022 3M Open DFS Player Selections
Cam Davis
Cam Davis has accumulated three top eight finishes in his last five tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a sixth-place result at last week’s 2022 Barracuda Championship.
Due to the fact that Cam Davis performed so well at the 2022 Barracuda Championship, I decided to take a hard look at Davis’s player statistics relative to the field.
After four rounds of competitive play at the 2022 Barracuda Championship, in relation to the field, Cam Davis ranked first in driving distance (367.4 yards), sixth in putting average (1.65), and 11th in GIR (72.2%).
Adam Long
Adam Long arrives at this week’s 2022 3M Open on the heels of three consecutive top 25 finishes on the PGA Tour, including a 13th place result at the 2022 John Deere Classic earlier this month.
In relation to this week’s current listed 2022 3M Open field, in the last 12 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Adam Long ranks sixth in GIR (greens in regulation), fifth in strokes gained putting, and first in bogey avoidance.
It should also be noted that Adam Long finished second at the 2020 3M Open.
Adam Hadwin
Adam Hadwin has accumulated two top 18 finishes in his last four tournaments played on the PGA Tour, including a seventh-place result at the 2022 U.S. Open last month.
In relation to this week’s current listed 2022 3M Open field, in the last 36 rounds played on the PGA Tour, Adam Hadwin ranks ninth in strokes gained tee to green, and fourth in birdie or better percentage.
I also like the fact that Adam Hadwin has posted quality results at this week’s PGA Tour event in the past. Hadwin finished sixth at the 2021 3M Open.
Callum Tarren
Callum Tarren has accumulated two top 22 finishes in his last three events played on the PGA Tour, including a sixth-place result at the 2022 John Deere Classic.
Additional golfers I like this week: Chris Gotterup: Adam Svensson: Brice Garnett.
