2013 Wells Fargo Championship Betting Preview and Tips

Quail Hollow Club, Charlotte, NC, Purse: $6,700,000

The Course

For the second consecutive time in 10 years, Quail Hollow Club averaged under par in 2012, erasing its reputation as one of the toughest par 72’s on Tour.

Holes 16, 17 and 18, two par fours with a par three sandwiched in the middle, is known as the Green Mile and is traditionally the toughest stretch on the course.

Great putting has defined the winners week on this 7,469-yard track, with Rory McIlroy and Rickie Fowler both supreme on the greens in winning here. The venue has its problems with the surfaces this year however , having to take the unprecedented measure of re-laying two entire greens last week.

D.A. Points 36/1

Points made into a three man playoff with Rickie Fowler and Rory McIlroy here last year, which Fowler won.

 

Nick Watney 27/1

Lucas Glover 55/1

separated at birth lucas glover grizzly adams[4]How do you nail down Lucas Glover with ten missed cuts in 2012 and already four this season. However he did play great at the Zurich Classic last week to score a solo fourth and returns to the site of his 2011 win this week. Also tied second in 2009.

 

Rickie Fowler 25/1

fowlerThree top 10’s this season for Fowler including a tied third at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and a good course performer. In three starts at Quail Hollow Fowler has finished sixth in 2010, T16 in 2011 and won here last year.

 

Jimmy Walker 50/1

It has been a fantastic season so far for Jimmy Walker. His tied eighth finish last week at the Zurich Classic make it four top 10’s for the season to date. Walker has been even or under par for his last 15 tournaments and hasn’t missed a cut since July last year. No real course form but Walker’s steady play should see him contend again this week.

Two Naked Pics Of Holly Sonders. The Big News To Emerge From The 2013 PGA Show

Image
The media centre at the 2013 PGA Show was buzzing yesterday.  Not because of anything that happened at the show.  God forbid! When I rocked in, several men (and one woman) were gathered around an iphone ogling and sharing  two pics of who they claimed were Holly Sonders naked. Now I have to hold my hands up and say, I had to google her to find out she’s from The Golf Channel. I don’t watch the Golf Channel because I don’t have an erectile dysfunction problem or need to rent a car from National.  I’m told adverts for both are all that’s on that channel. How they knew for certain it was her, I dont know.  Unless the cheeks of her ass were on her passport photo and they recognized them from there, but I doubt it. The First Pic The first pic is taken from behind. No pun intended.  The media guys say it was taken by her fiancee (?) and shows Holly in a white thong which has disappeared a dangerously long ways into the bummage.  I’m talking t...

Sarah Stirk Nipple Gate: Navy Top Leaves Viewers Disappointed

Image
London: Sky Sports management this morning issued a statement  apologizing to subscribers after Sarah Stirk wore a navy dress live on air.  It is believed up to 60,000 horny golfers were left limp after they tuned in to final round coverage of the Valero Texas Open in the hope of getting a glimpse of the legendary Stirk starter buttons. “I pay my subscription, I’m bloody well entitled to see Sarah’s Wimbledon strawberries” said factory worker Paul Manning 52 from Hereford. “I even missed the ten minute freeview, coz my mate Derek tweeted that Stirk was going into the shot centre for ten minutes at 11pm”. The Sky statement read: We apologize unreservedly for the navy dress Sarah wore during last nights broadcast, through which no nipples were visible. This was due to a wardrobe malfunction. However we do intend to rectify this during our US Masters coverage and assure viewers that plenty of bridge rivets will be on show, both from Sarah and special guest Colin M...
