The veteran and former FedExCup champ hasn't played since 2020 when he was runner up with an impressive 20-under 260.
Heck, he posted 12-under in 2019 (T31) to run his three-year total here to 42-under.īilly Horschel (BetMGM odds. There's too many good things over the last two years to let one putt or one round cause any concern. Missing a four-footer at the last and signing for 71 cost him a spot in the six man playoff and resigned him to T7. His lead ballooned to four shots at the halfway point and was three after 54 holes. Opened last year with 62 to throw down his marker after closing 63-65 in 2020 for T9. Muscle memory is on point as 26 of 28 are rounds of par or better and 23 of 28 are in the red, including the last 15. I’ll point out this streak stretches back to 2014 so he’s not an annual arrival. Big picture shows us he posted four top five finishes in his last five visits. His lucky number seven last season backed up his T3 from 2020 as he sits 33-under in the last two seasons. The defending champion has never missed out on the weekend on his preferred surface of Bermuda at Sedgefield. In 20 rounds he’s posted 65 or better eight times. He's now rattled off 50-under par the last three seasons and picked up checks for solo fifth, T3 and P2. Kim was unable to defend his title after some niggling injuries and upon return in 2018 he missed the cut but that's not surprising for a player ‘defending’ for the first time.
I'll argue he set the course record after the change to Champion Bermuda and he did so by three shots, adding to his impressive totals. His five-stroke victory announced his arrival on TOUR as did his equaling of the tournament record at the time (-21). The youngest winner (21) ran away to victory in 2016 on the back of setting the then course record of 60 in the second round. Yes, his daughter is named Wyndham for a reason! In 50 rounds his scoring average is a scalding 66.66. Outside of T72 in 2016 and T22 in defense in 2012 every other payday is T11 or better. The streak is currently at five and seven of his last eight visits. His annually annuity has produced 12 paydays from 13 starts and nine have produced top 10 returns. The Wake Forest Arnold Palmer Scholarship recipient picked up his first TOUR victory in Greensboro in 2011 and hasn't looked back. Kris Spence spruced the place up in 2007 before the TOUR arrived and the only other major change to the property was removing Bentgrass greens and replacing them with Champion Bermudagrass in 2012. Since 2008 Greensboro has turned to Donald Ross' Sedgefield Country Club to host the final event of the PGA TOUR season. Sedgefield is a perfect course and Wyndham is a perfect event to debut this idea. I'll take a look at the crucial components of going low here and who on TOUR matches up well given their form this season. I'll have another column this week focused on the key stats at Sedgefield.
