Lucas Glover returns to Sedgefield Country Club as a potential dark horse for the Wyndham Championship, the final regular-season event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs kick off next week.
The 2023 champion arrives in excellent form, ranking second in the field in both true strokes gained tee-to-green and on approach - numbers that should make the +4000 longshot particularly appealing to tournament watchers.
Glover's history at this event is noteworthy - this will be his 17th appearance at Sedgefield, where his ball-striking wizardry has proven effective on the North Carolina layout.
Also worth watching is Nicolai Hojgaard, the emerging Danish talent who enters with three consecutive Top 25 finishes, including an impressive T4 at the Scottish Open and T14 at The Open. Making just his third trip to the Wyndham, Hojgaard has gained strokes on approach and putting in both previous appearances.
The young Dane's recent performance places him fifth in tee-to-green play and 20th in putting over his last three tournaments - consistency that justifies his +6000 odds as an intriguing outsider.
Rounding out the sleeper picks is Christiaan Bezuidenhout, the accurate South African who's shown steady improvement. His game has been trending positively with a T20-T34-T13 run in recent starts, gaining strokes on approach and putting in three straight events.
Bezuidenhout's credentials include three victories on the DP World Tour, though he's still hunting for his first PGA Tour win. Could Sedgefield be where everything finally clicks at attractive +8000 odds?
With the FedEx Cup Playoffs looming, these under-the-radar contenders might just find extra motivation at a course that historically rewards precision over power.
