Course Characteristics of Those Who Can Win or Secure Winning Golf Bets
Sedgefield Country Club is a Donald Ross-designed course that has played host to this event since 2007. Sedgefield measures in at 7,127 yards and switched over to Bermuda greens in 2012. Out of the last seven winners, six have reached 20 under-par or better to take home the trophy. The course is a traditional par 70 and boasts a good mix of semi-challenging holes and some extremely moderate-to-easy ones. There are two very reachable par 5s, and eight of the 12 par 4s measure in at under 450 yards in length. Approach and putting are pretty much all that matters this week for the players looking to advance into next week's playoffs.
Sungjae Im +2200
He finished runner-up at this event last season and has three top-10 finishes at Sedgefield since 2019. He boasts seven top-10 finishes since September and currently ranks 36th in the FedEx Cup standings. He has had a rocky second half of the season, but I can see Im having a big bounce back week before the playoffs start.
J.T. Poston +3000
Poston has been playing great golf the past month with finishing positions of 6th, 6th, 41st, and 2nd in his last four starts. He has been hit or miss at this course throughout his career. He has won this event, finished T21 last year, but has also missed three cuts and finished 50th in his debut in Greensboro. He ranked 7th in approach last week and would have been even higher if it was not for a water ball on his final hole. With three top-6 finishes in his last four events, back Poston to be in the mix this week.
Harris English +5000
English is a four-time PGA Tour winner with two wins coming in 2013 and two more in 2021. The 34-year-old has put together a solid season with four top-10 finishes and only eight missed cuts in 26 starts. He had a runner-up finish at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a T3 at the Wells Fargo Championship. English has also had decent success at Sedgefield, missing only one cut in eight starts. He earned a 10th place finish in 2012 and finished in 11th in 2018.
Webb Simpson +9000
Webb loves this event. He loves this event so much that he named his daughter Wyndham after it. Despite his WD from this event last year, he remains atop of the SG:Total rankings for this event over the last six years. He has placed T7, T3, 3rd, T2, and 2nd respectively before last year's WD. He also won this event in 2011 and has not missed the cut in his last 11 starts. At +9000 odds, it is definitely worth a wager to straight up win and a solid top-10 play.
