Who’s going to win at Quail Hollow this week? These writers think they know.
Who’s going to win the Wells Fargo Championship? Here are predictions from the Observer’s team of reporters covering this week’s tournament at Quail Hollow Club:
RICK BONNELL
Rory McIlroy: The difference can be faith. McIlroy knows how to be daring at Quail Hollow and has been rewarded for it often.
SCOTT FOWLER
Phil Mickelson: Yes, it’s a sentimental choice, but wouldn’t it be terrific? Mickelson is always finishing around the top 10 at Quail Hollow - maybe this year is the breakthrough.
RON GREEN JR.
Justin Thomas: He won here (at PGA Championship) in August and there’s no reason he can’t double up.
BRENDAN MARKS
Rory McIlroy: Two-time champion in this tournament will improve on a strong Masters showing and win his third Wells Fargo title.
DAVID SCOTT
Rickie Fowler: His first career victory came at Quail Hollow (in 2012), so it will always be a special place for Fowler. It's time for him to win again.
