The four majors are finished for 2010. That means the year is over, right? We\u2019ll, not completely. We still have the Ryder Cup on the docket and also the \u201cplayoffs.\u201d Before we start that home stretch, there\u2019s one \u201cregular-season\u201d event remaining: the Wyndham Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Who are the best bets for this week\u2019s tourney at Sedgefield Country Club, which rewards driving accuracy?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE CONTENDERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Carl Pettersson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +1850<\/p>\n<p>The books are high on Pettersson this week. He won the Wyndham in 2008 and was a respectable 24<sup>th<\/sup> at the PGA last week. Pettersson also ranks third on Tour in putting \u2013 another skill that helps at Sedgefield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Moore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +2250<\/p>\n<p>Moore\u2019s win here last year wasn\u2019t a fluke, as he was second in the field in fairways hit. This year, he\u2019s 24<sup>th<\/sup> on Tour in that crucial stat category. Since his confidence should be high at his old stomping grounds, he\u2019s a fine pick.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SOLID PICKS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Jonathan Byrd<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +3250<\/p>\n<p>Byrd is one of the hotter or at least most consistent players in the field, with four top-25 finishes in his last five starts. He was 24<sup>th<\/sup> at the Wyndham last year and flashed an ability to go low, dropping three eagles. <a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ylw9PUHBV5BDblVyq445Upn\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/media.partners.betus.com\/BANNERS\/golf\/sportsbook_golf_250x250_mybanner.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>J.J. Henry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +3250<\/p>\n<p>Henry has the right skill set for this tournament. He was sixth in putting during his recent second-place finish at Turning Stone and he placed fourth at Sedgefield last year, cracking the top 20 in fairways and putting. He\u2019s not the most exciting choice but he\u2019s solid.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE SLEEPERS<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Michael Sim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +4550<\/p>\n<p>Sim could be this week\u2019s sentimental favorite as a long shot who just locked up his 2011 Tour Card. Sim is a crackerjack putter, 21<sup>st<\/sup> overall and best on Tour from 20-25 feet. If he gets hot, who knows what he could do?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Cejka<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +4550<\/p>\n<p>Cejka looks like an excellent play this week, as he\u2019s experienced, offers good sportsbook value and has the right game for Sedgefield. He\u2019s 18<sup>th<\/sup> on Tour in driving accuracy and has four top-10s in his last seven tries worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Woody Austin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wyndham Championship odds: +5250<\/p>\n<p>Austin has the most momentum of anyone in this week\u2019s field, having posted back to back top-10 finishes. He putted beautifully in each of those efforts and has recorded nine consecutive rounds under par. That\u2019s not too shabby for a guy who pays at better than 50 to 1.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>THE PICK<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I went for the deepest of the deep sleepers last week and Jeff Overton burned me, so I\u2019m scared off picking Woody Austin, Instead, I like a moderate sleeper like Alex Cejka. The weak field this week won\u2019t intimidate him and he does what you must do to win the Wyndham Championship: keep the ball in the fairway.<\/p>\n<p>Pick: Alex Cejka +4550<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pgatour.com\/tournaments\/r013\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Want Wyndham Championship Tee Times?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/record.partners.betus.com\/_zzar6WLC4ylw9PUHBV5BDblVyq445Upn\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">LOOKING TO BET ON THIS WEEK\u2019S 2010 Wyndham Championship?
