many good players are ready to win
playoff quotas are bound to win
Although the FedEx Cup standings are changing every week, its attention will never be as important as this week. All players from
from 104th place (James Han) to 132nd place (Michael Grigi) in the standings were in this week's roster.
(Fowler finally ranked 130th last season and failed to enter the playoffs)
Currently ranked 123rd, Ritchie Fowler has advanced six times in his last eight games, with a 19.4 point advantage between the 126th player. He still needs to achieve as good results as possible in this game to ensure a playoff spot.
From historical data, only a few people were able to climb to within 125 in the final game of the regular season.
In 2020 and 2021, three players entered the playoff lineup from "outside 125" through the Wyndham Championships. The average number of people in this item has been even smaller since 2012 - only 2.4 people.
(Champ still has the possibility of advancing to the playoffs)
Cameron Champ, who ranks 130th, is also expected to join the "lucky one". He has finished the top 20 in the past two weeks and has also made a breakthrough on the green - putting points in both games have also entered the top 20 in the game. This may become the key to his breakthrough this week.
Popular Players to Win the Championship
1. Billy Hosher
(Hosher is the second highest player this week)
No. 15 in the world Billy Hosher is the second highest player in the lineup this week. At the 2020 Wyndham Championship, he lost to Jim Herman in one shot and won the runner-up.
35-year-old remains in a hot state this season: he won one championship and two runner-ups, and is expected to be included in the President's Cup US roster. After the British Open, Hosher chose to take a break. This week he will launch an attack on the eighth championship of the PGA Tour!
2. Ren Sung-jae
(Ren Sung-jae participated in the competition three times and won the top ten twice)
Ren Sung-jae, who won T2 in the 3M Open, is one of the favorites to win the championship this week. His record at the Wyndham Championship was nearly perfect: three times, two top ten, with an average of 66.42 strokes.
This season, his par green rate was 69.83%, ranking 12th in a single event; the green surroundings scored 0.479, ranking sixth. Facing the small and fast greens at Sedgefield Stadium, outstanding irons are undoubtedly his magic weapon.
3. Kevin Kisner
Kisner has always had the ability to enter the championship ranks. In last year's six-man extra hole match, his second extra hole to catch a birdie and ultimately win is a good proof.
He participated in the seven Wyndham Championships and all advanced, four of which entered the top 10. In the last two competitions, his average score was 65.88.
(Kisner currently ranks 33rd in the standings)
It is worth mentioning that he is currently ranks 33rd in the FedEx Cup standings and will strive for his chance to participate in the last playoffs - the Tour Championship this week.
"Counterattack" The birthplace of
Sedgefield Country Club (Rose Stadium) is 7131 yards long, par 70
(Sedgefield Stadium has a history of nearly a hundred years)
Following last week's Detroit Golf Club, the PGA Tour has once again come to the stadium designed by Donald Ross.
, Sedgefield Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, opened in the 1920s, with the greens having a distinctive Rose personal style—small area and large undulations, tilting from back to front.
(Sedgefield Stadium has a history of nearly a hundred years)
The greens of the stadium are paved with Bermuda grass, which is characterized by their fast speed. So, hitting the green and turning it into a scoring chance is still a good recipe for the week.
Since 2008, the annual Wyndham Championship has been held here. In response to the increasing number of cannoners, the court has been extended in distance.
last year's lineup average score was 68.878. If the wind is smaller, the number of strokes this year will likely continue to decline.
