Wyndham Championship: Favorite cashes as Stenson holds off Schniederjans

Wyndham Championship: Favorite cashes as Stenson holds off Schniederjans article feature image

Henrik Stenson was at the top of the betting boards all week at the Wyndham Championship.

Stenson capped off a one-shot win at 12/1 by holding off a charging Ollie Schniederjans, who was a fairly popular pick in the betting world at 80/1.

Ollie showed on Sunday that he'll eventually breakthrough on the PGA tour after shooting a bogey-free 64 and making Stenson play nearly perfect down the stretch to come out ahead.

Looking back on the bets this week, it couldn't have gone worse trying to find a winner with no one finishing in the top 15. JJ Spaun bailed us out though with a final round 63 to tie for 16th and cash the top 20 bet at 7/1.

Overall for the week, the props and matchups turned a profit to cancel out the loss on the future bets.

Wyndham recap

Futures: -7.35 units
Matchups: +9.57 units (4.5-0.5, half loss on Reavie's three-ball chop, wins on Horschel, Haas, Streelman and Moore/Simpson parlay)
Props: +4.00 units (Thanks JJ)
Overall: +6.22 units

Next week, the playoffs get going at the Northern Trust. We'll be back to look at everything involved with the touranment and the Fedex Cup.

What a time to make an ACE!
