Day 1 of the 3M Open is in the books.

Canadian Adam Svensson has a two-stroke lead on the field, but there’s a golfer who’s made a name for himself in recent weeks right in the hunt as we head into Friday’s action.

Fanatics is offering new users a no-sweat first bet of up to $1,000 for the 3M Open.

The offer is valid for new users in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Washington, D.C., Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.

You must place at least a $1 bet with odds of -500 or longer for 10 straight days to be eligible for the no sweat bet.

Two weeks after winning the Scottish Open and just days removed from finishing third at the Open Championship, Chris Gotterup is in the mix once again.

Gotterup is three strokes back of Svensson at the top, but he’s a heavy favorite to win the tournament.

As of this writing, Gotterup is still plus-odds to finish in the top five — something he’s made look easy this month.

New customers in AZ, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VT, VA, WV, or WY only. Must apply this promotion in your bet slip and place a $1+ cash wager with odds of -500 or longer each day for 10 straight days. Your 10 days begin the day you establish your account. Wager must settle as a loss to qualify for Bonus Bets. Bonus Bets will equal the amount of the losing wager(s) (up to $100 in Bonus Bets per day) and expire 7 days from issuance. This offer is not available in NY. Terms apply- see Fanatics Sportsbook app.
