Webb to snare a big price winner

DJ worth taking on in Wells Fargo

The Wells Fargo Championship dominates the thinking of golf punters this week, with the action from Eagle Point Golf Club in North Carolina getting underway on Thursday. As usual, you can follow play live on Sky Sports, and Coral meet your punting needs.

Our sports traders have scratched up Dustin Johnson as market leader going into the week, and there’s certainly no doubt in their minds that DJ will be the man to come out on top here. He stands as a 5/1 jolly at present, with nearest rival Jon Rahm back at 12/1.

Big price on a defence

Punters looking to stick with a bit of competition form, in an attempt to dig up some value over the course of the weekend, can have last year’s champion James Hahn, who triumphed on -9 following a play-off, at 200/1. Two in-a-row has been seriously written off, but the winning score last year was amongst the worst we’ve seen from a player banking the top cheque.

It’s difficult to make a case against Johnson, he is red-hot favourite and there’s no doubting that’s where he should be in the pecking order at the minute. The 32-year-old is, of course, world number one, and at his best he beats a field like this at a canter. But he’s just back from injury, will be stale following a period on the sidelines, and I’d want more than the price to take a chance on him being back to full fitness.
