Pettersson won this tournament in 2008 and has three other top five finishes (including the last two years). He hasn't played particularly well this season (only one top 10) but that's why you're getting 50-1 odds on a guy who has traditionally dominated this course, right? I like the big man in a big way. |

Simpson's last three finishes at this tournament: T22, win, T8. He dropped that incredible 64 at the PGA Championship (the course record for roughly three hours before Jason Dufner covered it up) and he's as capable as anyone of going super low (which you kind of need to do to win the Wyndham). With a weaker field I like him to get his fifth top 10 of the year. |

Bear with me here. I know Villegas has missed seven cuts this year and I know his best finish all year is a T9 at the RBC Heritage way back in April. I still like him though and here's why: in 2011 he came into this tournament having been cut in seven of his last 10 tournaments and went on to post a T9 that included a 64 and 66. I'm not saying he's going to win but he's at least worth taking a flyer on. |
