The Wells Fargo Championship field is being headed by Rory McIlroy art a price of 4/1 with online betting site Stan James. He is the defending Champion of the PGA Tour event after having carded a brilliant 267 in last season’s edition to blitz the field. Her carded a course record with his 61 in the third round last season on his way to posting the 72 hole record at the event. Second placed Patrick Rodgers finished seven shots back of McIlroy. So that’s two titles at the event for McIlroy now, addition to his 2010 victory at Quail Hollow.
Will he make it a third this week?
He is clearly very comfortable at the tournament and along with his win he has banked three other top ten finishes at the Wells Fargo Championship, which includes a play off loss to Rickie Fowler in 2012. Eight of the top 12 in the World Ranking as at the event, including Adam Scott, Rickie Fowler and Henrik Stenson. Dustin Johnson was set to play but withdrew on Tuesday. Fowler, a previous winner, actually the scene of his maiden Tour victory, is trading at 14/1 which makes him second favourite in the field. Fowler is really firing this season, being T1 in par-4 scoring this term on the Tour and has carded six top ten finishes this year.
Adam Scott at 18/1 is the only other player coming in at under twenties, the mark where Henrik Stenson and Justin Rose are. Scott has failed to make the cut in his last three trips to Quail Hollow while Justin Rose will be looking to pick himself back up after missing the cut in New Orleans recently, but at least he got a little extra rest.
Phil Mickelson has posted ten top-12 finished from his previous twelve visits to Wells Fargo and he is a 25/1 shot to land the win. He is the all time money leader at the event and is going well being second the Tour this season in adjusted scoring.
