Derek Clements
Henrik Stenson
Derek Clements of Golf Shake, on the other hand, is banking on late entrant Henrik Stenson to take home the title this week. The world no. 8 added the Wyndham Championship to his tournament schedule to ensure that he plays the minimum number of 15 starts in the PGA Tour. The Swede’s game picks up towards the homestretch as evidenced by his FedEx Cup win in 2013 and runner-up finish two years later. The 2016 Open champion is pegged at +1,100to bring home the bacon this week.

Winner
Rob Bolton
Kevin Kisner
PGATour.com’s Rob Bolton is backing Kevin Kisner to capture the title this week. The American came close to winning his first major tournament at the PGA Championship last week but a final-round 74 doomed his chances. It was a disappointing collapse for Kisner who’d held at least a share of the lead after the first three rounds of that event. Kisner will look to erase the memory of that painful defeat here at Sedgefield. He finished tied for 10th in last year’s Wyndham Championship. Kisner is pegged at +1,500 to win the Wyndham this week.
