A Ball-Striking Machine Looks Like a Savvy Bet at Wells Fargo

The PGA shifts back to the U.S. this week, and a familiar event, the Wells Fargo Championship, which will be staged at an unfamiliar course, TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm. (Quail Hollow is being prepped to host the Presidents Cup this fall.) Who do our hosts like at this tricky, par-70 track?

Daily Fantasy Picks for Wells Fargo Championship

Rory McIlroy is the betting favorite, but from the top tier of players Rotowire’s Scott Jenstad and Morning Read’s Jeff Ritter are aligned that Corey Conners looks like a great fit for this type of course, primarily for his ball striking and recent form. Jenstad also likes building lineups around Russell Henley and Keegan Bradley. Ritter also targets Henley, who leads the PGA Tour in Strokes Gains: Approaches.

Rotwire’s Jeff Erickson is eager to tout PGA Tour rookie Cameron Young as a mid-tier pick, and everyone agrees that Young profiles as a player on the rise.

For sleepers, Jenstad likes Brandon Wu, Nate Lashley, Austin Smotherman and Andrew Novak. Ritter likes Matt Kuchar, and agrees and Novak is another player who appears mispriced this week.
