The Course & Field – Sedgefield Country Club (Greensboro, North Carolina)
From Nick Borrman:
just list that, the final event of the regular season is upon us. Almost all of the big guns are taking the week off to rest for the three-week playoff run while this tournament serves as many players' last hoorah to make the Top-70.
You likely will hear about several guys that are on the cusp and that they might be good bets to finish Top-10 or Top-20 because that is what they need to make the field next week.
While that narrative may be true, just remember, they have had all season to secure those finishes. Why suddenly “because they have to” will they go ahead and do it?
Don't buy into the hype especially because bookmakers are not dumb. They will price accordingly. Instead, stick to the recipe that has gotten you this far in the season. Who's playing well and who's had past success at this venue.
Sedgefield CC is a Donald Ross design that rewards strong mid-to-short iron play. The course is not long playing just over 7,100 yards as a par 70, so many 2nd shots will fall between the 125 to 175-yard range.
Shorter hitters with a strong approach game have had plenty of success here with winners including JT Poston, Kevin Kisner, Jim Herman, Brandt Snedeker and even Tom Kim last year.
Kim putted lights out as he gained more than 12 strokes with his putter while he also ranked 12th in approach. Kisner in 2021 also ranked 12th in approach and 8th in putting.
