With many of the world’s best choosing to rest up and prepare for the three-week FedExCup Playoffs on their own, we will see another field lacking in star power. Brian Harman, Robert Macintyre, and Sungjae Im represent the only top-20 players in the world golf rankings in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is, however, some quality depth this week with players like Shane Lowry, Keegan Bradley, Cameron Young, Denny McCarthy, Si Woo Kim, and Akshay Bhatia in the field. Motivation becomes a real intangible this time of year as many players will be trying to either qualify for the playoffs or better their position with this being the final event before the end of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is magnified even more so as only the top 70 in the FedExCup point standings will be eligible for the playoffs. Almost every player just outside the top 70 will be teeing it up this week including the likes of Victor Perez, Kurt Kitayama, Keith Mitchell, Nicolai Hojgaard, and last year’s winner, Lucas Glover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sedgefield Country Club – Course History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Designed and built by legendary architect Donald Ross on a former hunting estate in 1925, Sedgefield Country Club has quite the storied past. Ross was initially supposed to design two 18-hole layouts but the Great Depression prevented the second course from being built. Before it became the Wyndham Championship in 2008, it was formerly called the Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic and also the Greater Greensboro Open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Between 1938 and 1965, Sam Snead won this event a record eight times. Along with hosting the first professional event in North Carolina, the club also helped to break down racial barriers by inviting Charlie Sifford to participate in 1961 before the Tour had removed its segregation clause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As time passed, the course had been altered and changed so much that it had little resemblance to the original design. The fairways and bunkers, specifically did not make strategic sense. The course underwent a $3 million restoration project by Kris Spence in 2007. The goal was to rebuild the course and also restore the original Ross feel. Sedgefield was closed for 10 months as Spence relied on 80-year-old aerial pictures and original blueprints. Among the main renovations were adding 400 yards in length, re-positioning bunkers, and restoring the greens to their original size. Spence also took out the Bentgrass greens and added Champion Bermuda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
