Bet on the 2009 Wyndham Championship

Following the PGA Championship, most of the top-level golfers take this week off, which leaves the Wyndham Championship lacking in star power, but leaves the opening for a long shot winner come Sunday.

Here are some plays to consider for this weekend’s tournament

Lucas Glover 16/1

Glover is the top ranked player in this tournament, coming in 15th in the world. Glover made his name by winning the 2009 U.S. Open and is coming off a fifth place finish at the PGA Championship last weekend. Glover has finished in the top 20 in five of his last seven tournaments. Glover also placed 20th in the 2008 and 2007 Wyndham Championships.

Tim Clark 20/1

Clark is coming off a pair of solid performances at the PGA Championship (16th) and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational (29th) where both fields were stacked. In a smaller, less competitive tournament, Clark has the potential to break out and pick up his first win of 2009. Clark finished sixth in the 2008 Wyndham Championship, and had four top 10 finishes this season.

Boo Weekley 45/1

Weekley has been consistent as of late, making the cut in his last six tournament, including a 36th place finish at the PGA Championship. In 2009, Weekley has nine top 20 finishes. Though winless this year, Weekley has won at least one tour event the each year since 2006.

The 2009 Wyndham Championship will be played at Sedgefield County Club in Greensboro, N.C. starting on Thursday, Aug. 20 and concluding Sunday, Aug. 23.
