00:00But let's take a look at the odds to win and the favorite this week is Rory McIlroy as
00:07he's back playing this week plus 650.
00:10The prohibited favorite Zander is plus 900.
00:13No Scottie Scheffler this week so it gives everybody else a chance to win.
00:17Wyndham Clark 16-1, Cantlay 20-1, Max Homa 22-1, Colin Murakawa 25-1 and we're very close
00:26right now to the PGA Championship which is coming up here real soon.
00:30So nice tune up event this week.
00:33Yeah absolutely signature status here all the big boys in the field big boy golf course.
00:39You mentioned Rory McIlroy he's won here three times and also has multiple top 10 finishes.
00:44He's an absolute horse for this course and he comes off of a victory in his last start
00:49in the team event with Shane Lowry and you know Quail Hollow Club the host course for
00:55the Wells Fargo Championship has also held a President's Cup and a PGA Championship.
01:01So you know this is a major championship level golf course.
01:05It is a great tune up for next week's PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky.
01:12I kind of skirted the favorites a little bit Craig because I didn't feel their prices were
01:17real attractive which is somewhat surprising when you don't have Scottie Scheffler in the
01:21field and you also don't have Ludwig Oberg who just withdrew overnight.
01:27I guess he has a little bit of a knee issue and just wanting to make sure he's going to
01:32be OK for the PGA Championship coming up next week.
01:36The shortest shot I took was to hit the gala.
01:39This guy has been remarkable not only in signature events but on the correlated courses I used
01:45this week.
01:46He's got top 10 finishes in Phoenix at Torrey Pines and also Bay Hill.
01:51And I thought this was an interesting stat.
01:53We go to Bermuda grass greens this week in North Carolina and in to hit the gala's last
02:00six starts on Bermuda grass greens.
02:02The worst he's finished his ninth and he has two runner up finishes.
02:07And oh by the way over the last 36 rounds in this field he is number one in strokes
02:13game putting on Bermuda.
02:15The key to this golf course.
02:17Like I said it's a big boy track.
02:19It's a lot like Torrey Pines Bay Hill.
02:22You've got to drive it a long way and you've got to drive it straight.
02:25And then you've got to have a really good short game because it's one of the hardest
02:29courses on tour to hit greens in regulation.
02:32So you're going to miss some greens and you've got to be able to get up and down to hit the
02:36gala.
02:37I mentioned the putting.
02:38He's also excellent off the tee long and straight.
02:41So I like the combination of skills he has.
02:44And I took him at thirty five to one my shortest shot of the week.
