This should be fun. With 21 of the world\u2019s top 33 golfers participating in the Quail Hollow Championship this week, we\u2019ll see our best field since the Masters.<\/p>\n
Date<\/strong>: Thursday April 29 – Sunday May 02 CLICK HERE TO BET ON GOLF TODAY AT BETUS.COM \u2014\u2013><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Among that group are Mr. Woods himself and the latest green jacket recipient, Phil Mickelson.<\/p>\n Quail Hollow rewards players who take advantage of birdie holes, so we should keep that in mind as we examine top picks.<\/p>\n Tiger Woods<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +315<\/p>\n As much as everyone talks about Tiger\u2019s \u201crust,\u201d the guy finished fourth at the Masters. He won at Quail Hollow three years ago and his game \u2013 in which he constantly capitalizes on par-fives \u2013 suits the course extremely well. He\u2019s a legit play this week.<\/p>\n Phil Mickelson<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +1015<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been tough on Lefty all year so it\u2019s only fair that I give him respect after he wins the Masters. He truly is in his own tier this week. He\u2019s cracked the top 12 five times in six starts at Quail Hollow and leads the Tour in birdies or better on par-fives. Like Tiger, Phil is actually an educated pick this week.<\/p>\n Jim Furyk<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +1850<\/p>\n His 2010 track record tells us that age hasn\u2019t caught up to him yet. Furyk won at the Heritage and ranks sixth in proximity to hole, so he could make up for a lack of length by setting up short puts. A decent pick.<\/p>\n Lee Westwood<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +1850<\/p>\n It\u2019s tough seeing him a bridesmaid all the time but few golfers have played more consistently well than Westwood this year. He has five top-10s in eight starts worldwide this season so he has to be considered. Anthony Kim<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +2050<\/p>\n Very tempting pick. Kim may have more going for him than anyone in the field this week. He won in 2008, he leads the Tour in scoring average and he\u2019s second in birdies or better on par fours. The only knock is that he never seems to win when I pick him, for what that\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n Camilo Villegas<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +3250<\/p>\n He offers outstanding sportsbook value this week considering that he\u2019s fourth on Tour in scoring average. He\u2019s also fresh off a fifth-place finish at the Heritage so he seems to be peaking again at the right time.<\/p>\n Nick Watney<\/strong><\/p>\n Quail Hollow odds: +3250<\/p>\n Watney doesn\u2019t offer traditional sleeper value but he\u2019s still a long shot against such a powerhouse field. He has four top-25 finishes in five tries at Quail Hollow and ranks seventh on Tour in birdie average, so he does have the right makeup to surprise here.<\/p>\n Boy oh boy \u2013 is this ever a tough decision. Kim makes a ton of sense and even Tiger has a great chance to make noise. But I have to go against what I\u2019ve been saying all year and hop back on the Mickelson bandwagon. When he\u2019s hot, he\u2019s hot. Four different times in his career, he\u2019s won two tournaments within less than a month. I have to think he\u2019ll have his A-game again this week after the confidence boost of the Masters title.<\/p>\n
