Wednesday Preview - Wells Fargo Championship

We are now into the meat of the PGA Tour schedule, as every event should have a decent field on good golf courses. This week, the players head to North Carolina for the Wells Fargo Championship.

Course: Quail Hollow Club, a 7,500 yard track. Quail Hollow is one of the top ranked courses on Tour and a staple of the PGA Tour season. Conditions could make individual rounds difficult, but the winning score has finished between -10 and -15 all but twice in this tournament's history. Expect the same this year.

Strength Of Field: B+. Pretty darn good considering we're just coming off two big golf tournaments. Rory, Jason Day, and Jim Furyk are among the big name players, with players like Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, and Hideki Matsuyama also part of the field.

Extra Tidbits: Scott Gutschewski, Travis Howe, Matt Thompson, and Andres Echavarria are the Monday Qualifiers. Gutschewski is a former PGA Tour player but hasn't played in an event since 2011. He is overcoming injuries and expects to play on the Web.com Tour this year...Corey Conners, who was the runner-up at the US Amateur last year, will make his third start on the PGA Tour...Quail Hollow was the site of both Rory McIlroy's and Rickie Fowler's first PGA Tour victory.

Fantasy Four:

Phil Mickelson - A superb record here, which includes a T11 last year during his roughest stretch of golf. Missed the cut last week while flying under the radar, so there are still questions about his game, but showed at Augusta that he can play well in certain venues. Lefty has never missed a cut at Quail Hollow.

Jim Furyk - All time money leader at this event enters with a boost of confidence after winning in South Carolina. Winner in '06 and came up just short last year. Furyk is comfortable here, and should have another monster week.

Ryo Ishikawa - Sleeper pick. I know, he's driven me off the bridge before, but I feel really confident after his T8 last week. Cashed in on six paydays in eight weeks. He seems to be turning things around, but struggles with consistency. Quail Hollow has been known to be the break out event for many young players.

Kevin Kisner - Two playoff losses to two superstars have quickly put Kisner on everyone's radar. While he has no experience in this event, he does not seem to be afraid of the stage in any event. Another one that fits the "young player" mold that Quail Hollow loves to reward.

Last Weeks Team:

Jordan Spieth: CUT

Hideki Matsuyama: T17

Danny Willett: CUT

Rory McIlroy: T8
