Wells Fargo Championship 2021 - Quail Hollow, Charlotte North Carolina

We have a decent field assembling this week for the Wells Fargo Championship, just two weeks out from the PGA Championship. Quail Hollow will again host this year, the venue having hosted the 2017 PGA Championship when JT captured his first and to date his only Major. Rory McIlroy also tees it up for the first time since Augusta and it's interesting to see not only his OWGR ranking slip out but also his odds to win (18/1) 

The market is headed by JT and Bryson DeChambeau who are then joined by John Rahm, Victor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Webb Simpson, Tony Finau, Patricks Reed and Cantlay,...... and the list goes on.....

Given the market leaders' competitiveness we have here, I'm chancing a couple of players at bigger prices who I think can put in a solid week. Joel Dahmen and Talor Gooch have course form. The former recently won at the Corales Championship whilst Gooch was 5th at Sawgrass before missing the cut last week.Gooch has posted for top 20s from his 16 starts this season whilst Dahmen has posted three top twenties to go alongside his win from his 16 starts. Indeed it's Dahmen who finished runner up here last time in 2019 and 16th in 2018 that looks to be of some value to me this week. 

Selections
1pt e/w J. Dahmen @ 70.00 - 10 places
1pt e/w T. Gooch @ 90.00 - 10 places
