- Analysis
- The Wells Fargo Championship takes place at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. This is a long course consisting of 7554 yards with a par of 71. The greens consist of Bermuda grass. The last two champions have finished in the top two in Shots-Gained: Putting and Putting Average — so those are metrics I will be privileging this week. I will also be valuing Shots Gained: Off-the-Tee, Shots-Gained: Approach the Green, and Proximity from 200 yards or more away from the tee.
Our Long Shot on a golfer outside the top-ten favorites to win this event is on Corey Conners who is listed at +3300 odds at BetOnline. We had Conners last week at the Valspar Championship — and while he finished tied for 21st place, he did finish sixth or better in Shots-Gained: Off-the-Tee, Shots-Gained: Approach the Green, and Proximity. Conners has six top-25s with four top-10s in his last seven trips. Conners is one of the best ball strikers on the tour. He is seventh on the tour in Shots-Gained: Off-the-Tee, tenth in Shots-Gained: Approach-the-Green, and ninth in Shots-Gained: Tee-to-Green. He is second in the field in Shots-Gained: Off-the-Tee for his last 24 rounds, and he is second in the field in Shots-Gained: Approach the Green in his last 24 rounds. Conners is linked with Gary Woodland for Round One head-to-head propositions. Woodland comes off a missed cut last week at the Valspar Championship. He has missed the cut in four of his last eight events. He did finish tied for sixth place at the Valero Texas Open — but that is his only finish higher than 40th place in his last eight events. Woodland is 14th Driving Distance — but that is where his resume stops for fitting this course. He ranks 179th in Shots-Gained: Off-the-Tee, 96th in Shots-Gained: Approach-the-Green, and 176th in Shots-Gained: Putting. Woodland withdrew from this event after three rounds in 2019 (the pandemic canceled the tournament last year) after missing the cut in 2018. Take Conners (7138) versus Woodland (7137) in Round One tournament head-to-head propositions. Best of luck for us — Frank.
