PGA Betting Predictions<\/h2>\n

There is no rest for some of the PGA wicked this week as the TOUR moves on from its last Major this week and moves to North Carolina and the Wyndham Championship. <\/p>\n

2013 Wyndham Championship<\/strong>
\nLocation: Greensboro, North Carolina, United States
\nCourse: Sedgefield Country Club
\nDate: Aug 15-18, 2013
\nTotal Purse: US $ 5,200,000
\nWinner’s Share: US $ 936,000 (18% of total purse)
\n Odds from Bovada<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Defending Champion<\/strong>: Sergio Garcia ($936,000)<\/p>\n

Only five of the top 20 in the current FedEx Cup standings will be there but names like defending champion Sergio Garcia, Brandt Snedeker and Bill Haas will tee it up in the last PGA tourney of the year.<\/p>\n

This week serves as a last chance for many to qualify inside the top 125 for the FedEx Cup and takes place on a course that has been relatively easy \u2013 the winning scores have been between 16 under and 21 under in recent years. The Pros will tee it up in a shortish course \u2013 Sedgefield measures 7,130 yards and has only two par 5s \u2013 it has been the second easiest par 70 on TOUR the last two years.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s take a look at some of the names to watch this week in what is a crucial week for some of the PGA pros.<\/p>\n

The Favorites:<\/h3>\n

Webb Simpson 14\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

North Carolina native Webb Simpson has fared well on this track and should do so once again. He won here in 2011, was T8 in ’10 and a respectable T22 last year. He is coming off a T25 last week at Oak Hill where he tied the course record on day 2. A good history here and some decent form as of late has Webb the favorite this week.<\/p>\n

Brandt Snedeker 14\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Won the Canadian Open a few weeks ago but has struggled the last couple of weeks \u2013 at Firestone and Oak Hill. He has played well in this event in the past – 4-for-5 at Sedgefield with a T5 in 2009 and a T8 in 2010 and is certainly a reasonable pick to get it done this week.<\/p>\n

Zach Johnson 16\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has been terrific of late \u2013 a playoff loss, a T6, T4 and T8 in his last four starts \u2013 the last three coming on some big stages. A President\u2019s Cup bid is on the line for Zach \u2013 he has more to play for than most. Johnson is in the best form of the year so far and on a smaller track should be in the hunt Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Contenders:<\/h3>\n

Bill Haas 18\/1<\/p>\n

Has two straight top 25s \u2013 a T7 at Firestone and a T25 at Oak Hill and he has a decent history on this track – 3\/5 with a pair of top 10s. Haas has lurked around the leaderboards all season long and against a watered down field there is no reason to think differently about this week.<\/p>\n

Sergio Garcia 18\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Defending champion at this event and finished fourth in his only other start at Sedgefield. He is the leader on TOUR in strokes gained-putting and looked good at times last week. He hasn\u2019t been great on US soil as of late but he does have a knack of making cuts \u2013 23 of 24 since his win last year. [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

Martin Kaymer 25\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has never played this event but enters having finished T33 last week and T9 at the WGC-Bridgestone. Although he has been quiet in terms of the leaderboard he deserves a mention on talent alone.<\/p>\n

Hideki Matsuyama 33\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has experienced a meteoric rise \u2013 four top 25s in four starts on the PGA TOUR including a T6 at Muirfield and a T19 at Oak Hill. Matsuyama appears to be a name that you will hear a lot in the upcoming years.<\/p>\n

Paul Casey 40\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Won the Irish Open a month ago to re-emerge of the radar and looked good last week before fading to a T33 finish. He is slowly rediscovering the form that made him a force a few years ago and could be a factor this week. His best finish here was a T26 in 2008.<\/p>\n

David Toms 40\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Looked great last week in finishing seventh at Oak Hill after a T16 in Reno. He was runner-up here in 2010 and has missed just one of five here and is certainly an intriguing 40\/1. He is playing his best golf in quite some time and is suddenly a threat to the faves.<\/p>\n

The Sleepers (50\/1 or higher):<\/h3>\n

Jimmy Walker 50\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has struggled recently \u2013 just one cut made in his last five starts \u2013 two missed cuts were in Majors however. He tied for 2nd at The Greenbrier Classic in his last non-major TOUR start and was T4 here last year. He is too good to maintain this kind of slump.<\/p>\n

Tim Clark 50\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Has a great history here \u2013 a T6 in 2008 and a runner-up last year. He leads the PGA TOUR in both fairways hit and proximity to the hole from the rough and should be a factor this week. He looked good at times last week and looks like good value at 50\/1.<\/p>\n

Roberto Castro 50\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finished a very good T12 last week to put him on the Wyndham radar and now has three top 15s in his last five starts. He is playing some good golf indeed but did miss the cut here in his only previous appearance.<\/p>\n

Carl Pettersson 50\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Won here in 2008 and has tied for fourth each of the last two years but he hasn\u2019t been great as of late. If history means anything then he could contend \u2013 I don\u2019t love his form however.<\/p>\n

Chez Reavie 100\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Super sleeper time! He has made nine straight cuts and has gone 3-for-3 at Sedgefield with a T10 in 2009 and a T9 in 2011. He is eighth on TOUR in fairways hit, 24th in greens in regulation, third in proximity and T8 in par-4 scoring \u2013 certainly worth a mention at 100\/1.<\/p>\n

The Pick:<\/h3>\n

The pick this week is Zach Johnson at 16\/1<\/em>. He has a lot to play for as mentioned (a President\u2019s Cup bid) and he has been sensational of late on TOUR. He\u2019s due for a win and gets it this week.<\/p>\n

My sleeper is Tim Clark at 50\/1.<\/strong> Rock solid, a good history here\u00a0and also due for a big payday Clark is arguably the best value on the board.<\/p>\n
