  All-time shots from Wells Fargo Championship​

  ​

With the Presidents Cup taking place at Charlotte’s Quail Hollow Club in September, this year’s Wells Fargo Championship has moved to TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm.
Two-time FedExCup winner Rory McIlroy headlines the field as he looks to defend his title from last season.
FIELD NOTES: Rory McIlroy tees it up for the first time since he fired a tidy final-round 64 at the Masters … Abraham Ancer returns to both an event (runner-up last year) and golf course (shares the course record) where he has displayed strong form … Morgan Hoffmann is back in action. Hoffmann, who missed the cut at the RBC Heritage, has two starts left on a medical extension and will need to earn 238.42 FedExCup points to maintain full TOUR status … Francesco Molinari, who won the last TOUR event contested at TPC Potomac (2018 Quicken Loans National), is set to tee it up … Among the sponsor exemptions are Ben Martin (runner-up at Corales Puntacana Championship in March) and Brandon Matthews (No. 3 on Korn Ferry Tour Points List) … Recent Wells Fargo Championship winners teeing it up include Max Homa (2019), Jason Day (2018), Brian Harman (2017), James Hahn (2016) and Rickie Fowler (2012) … Other notables at TPC Potomac include major winners Gary Woodland, Webb Simpson, Sergio Garcia and Patrick Reed.
FEDEXCUP: Winner receives 500 FedExCup points.
COURSE: TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, par 70, 7,160 yards. This is a one-year departure from the Quail Hollow Club, as the North Carolinian club will play host to the Presidents Cup in September. TPC Potomac last hosted the PGA TOUR in 2018 and is a 21-time TOUR host. The course meanders through numerous creeks and streams – including the Rock Run Stream Valley, a main tributary of the Potomac River – and wooded terrain. The course boasts bentgrass tees, greens and fairways, as well as natural rolling land and Scottish-style bunkering. The course underwent a hearty renovation in 2015 prior to the TOUR’s return two years later.
STORYLINES: McIlroy enters the Wells Fargo Championship with plenty of good vibes. His last competitive round, a 64 at Augusta National, was tied for the lowest Sunday score in Masters history. He comes to an event where he has finished outside the top-10 just twice in 10 starts. It’s a new golf course for 2022, but McIlroy has played well in the D.C. area before – he won the 2011 U.S. Open, played at just-down-the-road Congressional Country Club, by eight shots … McIlroy will try to buck a trend at the Wells Fargo Championship, though, as there is yet to be a successful title defense at the event … Gregory Odom Jr., a senior standout at Howard University, will be making his PGA TOUR debut on a sponsor exemption. Howard, an HBCU, didn’t have a golf program two years ago. This year, led by Odom Jr., it captured its first MEAC Championship … Denny McCarthy is hoping for a hometown boost this week. McCarthy, who sits 49th on the FedExCup standings, attended grade school just nine miles away from TPC Potomac … TPC Potomac slides in to play host as preparations are well underway for the Presidents Cup at Quail Hollow in September. It will mark the first Presidents Cup since 2019 at Royal Melbourne in Australia.
72-HOLE RECORD: 267, Rory McIlroy (2015 – Quail Hollow)
18-HOLE RECORD: 61, Rory McIlroy (Round 3, 2015 – Quail Hollow)
LAST TIME: Rory McIlroy topped Abraham Ancer by one to win his first PGA TOUR title in 18 months. McIlroy, who revealed after his win that his neck locked up during his practice session and he nearly withdrew, made birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 at Quail Hollow on Sunday to pull away from the chasing pack. He held off a hard-charging Ancer, who shot a 5-under 66 on Sunday (the low round of the day). McIlroy stumbled home, taking a penalty on the 72nd hole, but he managed to scramble for bogey and notch the win on Mother’s Day – his first as a parent. The win marked McIlroy’s third at Quail Hollow (having won in 2010, his first TOUR title, and in 2015). The runner-up was Ancer’s best TOUR result until he captured the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational later in the year. Viktor Hovland and Keith Mitchell finished tied for third while Gary Woodland rounded out the top five.

Congrats to Dawg. Since UGA had so many guys picked in the NFL draft, it makes perfect sense for him to win.
since the homeowners insurance mess, I’ve had to earn my pay. Golf game is suffering.
Let’s all pray the stock market doesn’t take another dumper this week.
From Lakewood Ranch,
I am,
Sincerely,
Ken C.

Certainly a solid pick, but just in case you didn't read the intro post this week and picked Rory because of past success, Quail Hollow is not hosting this year. With the President's Cup, later this year at Quail Hollow the tournament is at TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm for 2022

 

[NoleinATL]

Got some WD's

 

[FSUdawg]

Thanks everyone.

Just to be clear I hate UGA. The Dawg portion of my name has nothing to do with them, it stems from when I was in college back in the early 90's.

Story:
We were playing intramural softball against a team mostly made up of Rutgers football players. I was in CF and pretty much tracked down every bomb they hit into the outfield. One of the guys commented, "damn, he is like a dog. We hit it and he goes to fetch it". The nickname stuck and a lot of my friends spelled it the screwed up UGA way of Dawg.

While I can't run nearly as fast anymore, my daughter does out on the soccer field.

Thanks for clarifying that FSUdawg. I'll remember to only use Garnet and Gold references when offering congrats in the future...

Worked in the yard all day today and fried my brain. Thought...'I'd better get my picks in quick', then realized it was only Monday. Oh well. The sun and weed-killing chemicals will do that for ya. Felt like I was channeling Lloyd Bridges/Steve McCroskey from "Airplane"...just hope I don't realize late Friday that I picked the wrong week to select Rory.

Yes Dawg. On a similar vein, my name has nothing to do with the Country Music Awards. 😂

Arnold always has been, and always will be, my favorite golfer. When I finally got to attend the Masters a long time ago, Arnie was in the twilight of his career. My friend and I had arrived early to get a good seat around the 15 green, when we heard a distant roar, followed closely by another, and another, etc. When the board finally posted Arnie at -4 after 6 holes, we got up as fast as we could and ran to see the action...just in time to see him bogey 7. But the sheer mass of humanity following him was awe inspiring nonetheless.

I know, CSB.

So after Arnie sensed your presence, his best finish after that day was a tie for 24th ( my guess is the 75 Masters, how close?)

so if you’re playing with him on the third day, do you tell him it’s a gimme as he is teeing it up?

Think it was the early 80s. IIRC, he missed the cut. My memory has gotten fuzzy as old age has crept in. It may have been the year Chip Beck gagged it away on 15.

@FSU & Golf Great last minute pick with McCarthy.

Had a feeling I'd regret not taking Aaron Rai...No one else picked him either, and he's tied for first.

 

[NoleinATL]

Jason Day at 5 under, unexpected after 3 straight MC since the ATT in Feb

 

[Bill From Tampa]

I can guarantee Mrs BFT will not be picking Casey again this season. Twice he has bailed on the tourney this season.
