Wells Fargo
This event is being staged at the Quail Hollow Golf Club, Charlotte, North Carolina. The leading contenders are McIlroy, Fowler, Scott, Matsuyama, Stenson & Rose. While McIlroy has a great record on the course, I cannot feel confident enough of him to go with 4/1. In fact, there are enough doubts about most of the favourites that I am going for none of the above and am looking for a decent price to beat the favourites.
This isn't an easy course to asess. It has traditionally favoured GIR & Scrambling. However, the last couple of years (after course adjustments), it has favoured driving distance so brings the bombers well into play.
JB Holmes 28/1
Winner here two years ago so suited by the course since the recent adjustments. His most recent finishes have been 6th - 6th - 11th - 11th - 59th - 4th - 13th so he is in pretty good form. The combination makes him great value here.
Daniel Berger 40/1
Suffered with the weather last week when well placed. Worth another chance.
Justin Thomas 50/1
It could just be a bombers week so Justin fits the bill. He looks to be coming into form as well.
Jim Herman 300/1
Two months ago, there was little to warrant any support then out of the blue, he won the Shell Houston Open. Six weeks later, he is back as a 300/1 shot. Then you look back a year & notice that he was 13th here. Maybe lightening will strike twice.
There are a few others who might be worthy of a punt - Lovemark 60/1, DeChambeau 66/1, Finau 70/1, Donald 80/1, Kokrak 70/1, Schniederjans 150/1 & Wyatt 200/1.
Good Luck!

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
