Wyndham Championship Tips

Wyndham Championship - Sedgefield CC, Greensboro, N.C.

17 August 2015 - 23 August 2015

Tip date: 17 August 2015

This week’s event is the last tournament before the Fedex Cup starts and it’s also the last chance for those players outside the top 125 to secure a full card for 2015/16. Sedgefield CC in North Carolina is a Donald Ross design, measuring 7127 yards. The par 70 layout means the shorter hitters are at less of a disadvantage. The fairways are relatively generous but the greens are a bit on the small side. Certainly, the traditional par 70 specialists tend to prosper here. Camillo Villegas is the defending champion. It’s worth keeping an eye on those just outside the Fedex Cup top 125 as they’ll have an extra incentive this week.

Name	Odds	Bookmaker
Bill Haas	2pt each way 33-1	Sportingbet	Finishing position: T6 Back Bill Haas Again
Bill is a class player and proven winner who can usually be relied upon to notch a victory each season. He posted a first place at the Humana Challenge earlier in the season. His Sedgefield form of 10-28-MC-7-20-2 is enough to get us onboard this week in what is not an especially strong field.
Carl Pettersson	2pt each way 66-1	Coral	Finishing position: T6 Back Carl Pettersson Again
We’ve been on Carl a couple of times of late, mainly because he’s been playing some decent golf and appears to be back in the groove. No doubt, Sedgefield suits him perfectly. He won in 2008 and has had two T4’s since. He’s also had a 5th, T12 and T4 in his last six starts. We’re happy to recommend him this week on a course that’s going to bring back a lot of happy memories for the burly Swede.
Brian Harman	2pt each way 90-1	Bet365	Finishing position: MC Back Brian Harman Again
Brian is another who thrives on sup par 72 formats. He won last year at par 71 Deere Run and most of his best results are linked. T13 at Waialae and 3rd at River Highlands confirm the trend. He’s also popped up with a T3 at Sedgefield in 2013 – and he’s a better player now.
