Sam Burns had been the leader or co-leader at some point in nine PGA Tour events this season. Last weekend, he was finally able to keep the lead and not look back to win the Valspar Championship by three strokes over Keegan Bradley at a price of 70/1. The 24-year-old Burns earned his first PGA Tour victory and rose from 94 to a career-high mark of 44 in the OWGR.

Meanwhile, this week’s Wells Fargo Championship has a nice pre-major feel with 11 of the World’s Top 20 players in Charlotte participating. 2021 Players Champion Justin Thomas (10/1) is the tournament favorite, and he does have a win on this course at Quail Hollow Club with his victory in the 2017 PGA Championship.

World No. 2 Thomas is followed by World No. 3 Jon Rahm (10/1), who enters with four straight top 10 finishes. Bryson DeChambeau (14/1) makes his first appearance since a disappointing 46th at the Masters. The bomber and gouger finished fourth here for his last appearance in 2018. 2015 Wells Fargo Champion Rory McIlroy (20/1) is now ranked 15th in the world, his lowest ranking since 2009. Nevertheless, he has a win here and won the last PGA Championship held at Kiawah Island back in 2012. Xander Schauffele (18/1) is just four weeks removed from his third at the Masters and looking to keep that form in his last tune-up before a major.

Here’s a look at some good value bets for the Wells Fargo Championship:

DeChambeau’s length off the tee will prove to be a major advantage this week. In addition to the par 5s, he could also be dangerous on the par 3s this week where he ranks fifth in SG: par 3 from 200-225 yards.

Hovland looks to be peaking at the right time. He shot the low Sunday round of 65 last weekend to finish T-3 at the Valspar Championship. He now sits just one spot outside the OWGR top 10.

Zalatoris had a tough time following up his runner-up finish at the Masters with a 42nd at the RBC Heritage. Now he has had two weeks off and returns to North Carolina, where he played his collegiate golf at Wake Forest. A victory is coming soon for 24-year-old Zalatoris, and the Wells Fargo Championship has provided the venue for several maiden, young PGA Tour winners including Rory McIlroy in 2010 and Rickie Fowler in 2012.

A disappointing weekend led to a T-29 at the Valspar Championship, but Im drifts up to as high as 50/1 this week. He is one of the better Bermuda putters on tour and always seems to gain off the tee, which should prove to be more beneficial than approach this week.

Grillo was T-2 after Round 1 last week at the Valspar Championship with a 66, but then shot a 76 on Friday to miss the cut by one shot. Prior to last week, Grillo finished second at the RBC Heritage and sixth in the Dominican Republic. If the putter is better than last Friday, then he should be an off the radar contender.

Fowler currently finds himself ranked 116th in the world and needed a special invitation from the PGA of America to participate in the PGA Championship in two weeks. His last start four weeks ago at the Valero Texas Open was a T-17, his best of 2021, so maybe that is something to build on. Fowler is a former winner here and has three top 5s in his past four starts at Quail Hollow.
