The 3M Open hasn't been the most star-studded PGA Tour event, but it's one that's certainly worth betting on.

Heading into today's final round of the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities, Scott Piercy holding a four-stroke lead at 18-under par. Emiliano Grillo sits in second place at 14-under par, and Doug Ghim and Tony Finau sit five strokes back at 13-under par.

Piercy is set as the -135 live favorite at WynnBET Sportsbook. Can anyone catch him?

Here are three golfers you should consider betting on today if you don't want to back the favorite in Piercy.

Live Bets for the 3M Open

Emiliano Grillo +450

Poor putting has plagued the career of Emiliano Grillo, and golf fans have always known that if he could figure out his flat stick, he would be a force to be reckoned with on the PGA Tour.

Well, this event he's gaining 1.51 strokes on the field with his putter. If he can keep that going today, he has a chance to catch Piercy. He's the closest to him, only needing to gain four strokes shut the gap.

Tony Finau +500

Tony Finau sits five strokes back, and he's the first name you'll recognize on the leaderboard if you're a casual fan. He's lost -0.95 strokes with his putter this event, but his approach game has been lights out, gaining +2.15 strokes on the field with his irons.

If he can dial in his putter, he's playing well enough in every other area to potentially close the gap.

Sungjae Im +2500

The only person in contention who has been even close to Piercy in terms of putting, is Sungjae Im. Piercy is gaining an eye-popping +3.63 strokes with his putter, but Im is gaining a respectable +2.27.

The only issue with backing Im in this spot, is he's seven strokes off the lead. Not only will he have to play an A+ round, but he'll need Piercy to stumble. With that being said, it's a decent look at 25/1 if you want to back a longshot.
