Golf - Wyndham Championships 2021

[Ken4155]

This is the final tournament of the regular season before the world's top 150 golfers go on to the Fed Ex Cup play offs, next week and there are some players who need a good performance this week to qualify.

One such player is Justin Rose, currently sitting in 139th place. Rose has had an indifferent season but he has won this tournament before and he will be more than aware that the Ryder Cup team selection process is on the horizon.

Another player who has won this tournament before, and who is also having an indifferent season, is Brand Snedeker. He, in fact, has won the Wyndham twice; back in 2007 and as recently as 2018. He has also had two top 5 finishes on his last 5 visits.

The favourite to win the 2021 Wyndham is course specialist Webb Simpson who, aside from his 2011 win, has also posted top 5 placings on his last 4 attempts to win a second Wyndham. His record for the last 4 years is; 3rd-2nd-2nd-3rd. Another good performance would propel him into Ryder Cup contention.

Webb Simpson - £3 win @ 12/1 - Willy Hill
Justin Rose - £1.50 e.w. @ 50/1 - Willy Hill (8 places)
Brand Snedeker - £1.50 e.w. @ 50/1 - Willy Hill (8 places)

At the half-way stage, Webb Simpson is proving just how much he likes this course by carding 2 rounds of 65 to sit in tied 2nd on -10 (leader on -14). Justin Rose is pushing his claim for Ryder Cup consideration, sitting in tied 5th on -9.
Snedeker carded a disastrous '75' 2nd round and has missed the cut.
