LOOKING TO BET ON THIS WEEK\u2019S 2011 WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP? CHECK OUT BODOG SPORTSBOOKS PGA Betting Odds Today!!!!!<\/a><\/h3>\nLAST WEEK<\/strong>: Jason Day was a straight-up miss at the PGA Championship, as he missed the cut. It was a head-scratching performance from the eighth-ranked player in the world. It\u2019s not like picking Day was a stretch; he\u2019d finished second at two other majors this season. We should bounce back with our pick this week.<\/p>\nIf you prefer birdies and ridiculously low numbers to major championships, you\u2019ll enjoy the Wyndham Championship this week. The host course, Sedgefield Country Club, has played as the easiest par-70 on Tour twice in the last three years and was the second-easiest the other year. It had the lowest scoring average on Tour last season.<\/p>\n
With an easy setup this week \u2013 only putting seems to play reasonably tough \u2013 we\u2019re best off looking at who is hot. Everyone should play the course well but hot golfers should play it especially well.<\/p>\n
Date: Aug. 18 – 21
\nEvent: Wyndham Championship
\nCourse: Sedgefield Country Club, Greensboro, North Carolina
\nPurse: $5,200,000
\nDefending Champ: Arjun Atwal
\nFEDEX Cup Pts: 500<\/strong><\/p>\nTHE ELITE<\/strong><\/p>\nDavid Toms <\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +1200<\/p>\nAny way you look at it, Toms is a great fit this week. He\u2019s hot, having posted consecutive top-10s and finished fourth at the PGA. He has six top-10s on the season. He\u2019s shown an ability to go really low, with some rounds in the low-60s this year, including back-to-back 62s at the Crowne Plaza Invitational. ![\"\"](\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Wyndham-Championship-e1313616303970.jpg\" "\\"Wyndham-Championship\\"")
Wyndham Championship Predictions<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\nHe\u2019s also a top-20 guy on Tour in putting. Toms has a ton going for him here.<\/p>\n
THE CONTENDERS<\/strong><\/p>\nWebb Simpson<\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +2000<\/p>\nWebb missed the cut last week but he\u2019s still the Tour\u2019s leader in all-around ranking. He can go low; he ranks eighth on Tour in adjusted scoring average and he shot a 63 at Sedgefield last season en route to an eighth-place finish.<\/p>\n
Bill Haas<\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +2000<\/p>\nHaas has been consistent, making eight straight cuts. He hasn\u2019t dominated at Sedgefield but he did go 36 straight holes without a bogey there last season and shot a 62 there the year before.<\/p>\n
Brandt Snedeker<\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +2500<\/p>\nSnedeker is another guy beautifully suited to this tournament. He seems to love it; he won it in 2007 before it moved to Sedgefield. Since the move, he finished fifth two years ago and eighth last year. He\u2019s second on Tour in putting. Snedeker could make major noise this week.<\/p>\n
Charles Howell III<\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +2500<\/p>\nLike Haas, Howell has made eight straight cuts. He\u2019s one of the Tour\u2019s better putters, he\u2019s ninth in scoring average and he finished a respectable 13th<\/sup> in his only other visit to the Wyndham. Solid mid-range pick.<\/p>\nSOLID PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\nAnthony Kim<\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +3000<\/p>\nKim won\u2019t get any awards for consistency but he\u2019s always someone to consider at a tournament where going really low is important. His bogey-free 62 at the recent Greenbrier Classic reminds us that, even if Kim has slipped, he\u2019s still a birdie maker who can dominate when hot. <\/p>\n
Jason Dufner<\/strong>
\nWyndham Championship odds: +4000<\/p>\nDufner\u2019s game doesn\u2019t really suit this tournament, as he\u2019s one of the Tour\u2019s weakest putters, but he\u2019s fresh off a runner-up finish at the PGA Championship and could be motivated to dominate after last week\u2019s collapse.
