At the 2022 Masters, McClure’s pattern was all of Scottie Scheffler’s career-first major championship wins over the weekend.

The model was also all-in on Jon Rahm’s career first major championship win (10-1) at the US Open 2021. Rahm was two headers from the leader at the weekend, but the model still predict he is the winner.

3M Open 2022 Top Predictions
One big surprise this model is calling for at the 3M Open 2022: Finau, a two-time PGA Tour champion and Vegas favorite, can’t win it all and barely make it top 5. Despite shooting 66 on Sunday of the British Open, Finau only finished 28th at St. Andrews, this is still his best performance at any pro tournament this year. He’s missed as many (five) as the top 25 finish in the 2021-22 PGA Tour season and finished 28th at the event last year.
Finau has always been on the teeing ground but his accuracy has been a victim this year. He ranked only 144th in driving accuracy percentage (57.02), which could be detrimental to a course with 99 different hazards. Additionally, Finau is having the worst hitting season of his career, ranking 148th in strokes: putts (-.146). He is not a strong pick to win all and much better value in the field of 3M Open 2022.
Another surprise: Adam Long, a 35-1 long-range shot, produces a powerful hit at the title. Long has been successful at this event before, taking the runner-up at the 2020 tournament with a score of 17 below par. He slashed the numbers and was outside the top 50 by half point of the event, but he was red hot at the interval.
Long is also participating in the 3M Open 2022 in good form, finishing in the top 15 at the John Deere Classic. He’s made the top 15 in three of his last nine tournaments, and this will be a weaker-than-usual court. Long is 14th on the PGA Tour in strokes: put, which should give him a great chance to finish on the leaderboard. See who else to choose here.
