Bamford Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 This tournament returns to Quail Hollow where they hosted the PGA Championship last year. Quail Hollow is a classical course, which is extremely long to boot. Now a Par 71 measuring 7,500 yards, this week is unlikely to be a birdie-fest, rather a proper tournament where a mix of both birdies and bogeys will hit every player. I don't expect the course to play quite as difficult as it did for the PGA Championship, but with fast greens and little wind we should still see a typical mid-score winning score. Power and a high ball-flight is definitely an advantage here, but course management and a razor-sharp short game will be essential, when players inevitably miss greens. It's also a tournament where quality players in the past have made big-breakthroughs with potentially a number of the elite names casting an eye to The Players next week rather than winning this. I'm going with Tommy Fleetwood (28/1), Webb Simpson (40/1), Tony Finau (45/1) and Bennie An (70/1). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
