Observer columnists and reporters covering this week’s Wells Fargo Championship believe they know who will be the winner after 72 holes on Sunday:

SCOTT FOWLER

Rory McIlroy

The best golfer in the world is also a previous champion in Charlotte. A boring prediction, sure – but also the right one.

Ron Green Jr.

Bill Haas

After his near-miss at the Players last weekend, Haas gets his second win of the season and a spot on his dad's Presidents Cup team.

JONATHAN JONES

Jim Furyk

The 2006 champion gets his second crown at Quail in 2015. Furyk, the fifth-ranked player in the world, has two top fives, including a win, in his past three tournaments.

DAVID SCOTT

Patrick Reed

Patrick Reed is the other guy on the PGA Tour who wears a red shirt on Sunday, which he'll do this week while winning at Quail Hollow.

TOM SORENSEN

Jason Day

I always pick Jason Day because he's a very good guy with a very good game. Because he's not playing in Charlotte, I like Kevin Kisner.
