How Player Rankings are Computed
Who to watch for at the Wyndham Championship
Best Bets:
Webb Simpson
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T2 | 3 | T72 | T6 | T5 | T11 | T22 | Win | T8 | CUT |
Can’t miss, of all the players, has the best record at Sedgefield and played well last week in Memphis finishing 2nd.
Hideki Matsuyama
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T11 | T3 | CUT | CUT | 15 |
Has been a lost year for him if he could win would be some redemption. He was T-11th at Wyndham last year and T-3rd in 2016.
Patrick Reed
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T22 | T24 | Win | T66 |
Past champion won Wyndham in 2013. Despite a balky putter, he was T-12th last week in Memphis, 10th at the British Open, T-23rd at the 3M and T-5th at the Rocket Mortgage on a course similar to Sedgefield, so anything could happen this week.
Best of the rest:
Collin Morikawa
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Could be the hottest player in golf right now, since graduating from Cal Berkley in May with a Business Administration degree and turning pro has played in six events and made the cut in all six. In his last three starts was T-2nd at the 3M Open, T-4th at the John Deere Classic and won the Barracuda last week.
Paul Casey
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T3 | T18 | CUT | 75 | T47 | T26 |
This could be a brilliant pick if only one thing happens, Casey is better on and around the greens. Was T-3rd the last time he played at Sedgefield in 2015, so the big question is why it took him so long to return.
Brandt Snedeker
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Win | T3 | T43 | T5 | CUT | T28 | CUT | T8 | T5 | T69 | Win |
Defending champion who always plays well at Sedgefield, one top of two wins was T-3rd in 2016 and T-5th in 2014.
Joaquin Niemann
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T33 |
Was T-33rd last year, finishing with rounds of 66-66 over the weekend. Finished T-5th on another Donald Ross course, the Rocket Mortgage.
Solid contenders
Lucas Glover
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T28 | T22 | T18 | CUT | CUT | WD | T30 | 7 | T24 | T20 | T20 |
Mixed results at Sedgefield but the key is he has played good most of the year, just not great. But that could change at any time since his game is perfect for Sedgefield with the exception of his putting which has always kept him back.
Billy Horschel
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T11 | T60 | T5 | CUT | T47 | T46 | T30 |
Been on the verge of breaking things open all year, his big problem is always that one poor round of the week. If he could avoid that, could do well.
Alex Noren
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Game has been good of late, T-12th at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude, T-11th at the British Open.
Charles Howell III
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T31 | CUT | DQ | T31 | T4 | T13 |
His game is perfect for a Donald Ross course.
Long shots that could come through:
Sepp Straka
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
First time playing in this event |
More info:
Good sleeper pick, he is long and straight off the tee and hits lot’s of greens.
Cameron Smith
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T7 | CUT | T18 |
Was T-7th last year at Wyndham, shot 63 on Sunday.
Luke Donald
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CUT | 2 | T26 |
He is an old warhorse that plays well on these type of courses, he was 2nd in 2016 and hasn’t been bad this summer.
Not good choices this week:
Jordan Spieth
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2 |
Odds are greater in missing the cut than finishing in the top-three, his game is not a match for Sedgefield.
Chez Reavie
2019 | ’18 | ’17 | ’16 | ’15 | ’14 | ’13 | ’12 | ’11 | ’10 | ’09 | ’08 | ’07 |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
T37 | CUT | CUT | CUT | T58 | T9 | T10 |
Since winning at the Travelers in his last three starts he missed the cut at the Rocket Mortgage and British Open, was T-27th at WGC-FedEx St. Jude.
