The Wachovia Championship, Quail Hollow, Charlotte, North Carolina. The Wachovia Championship has been going for five years now and is highly regarded by the pros. Quail Hollow is a very difficult course being a bit like a US Open venue. However the last two years long drivers have been strongly favoured as opposed to accurate drivers. The first three years in the Wachovia the reverse was true but to a lesser extent. The greens are large and undulating with the closing holes providing a stern test. As it is a difficult lay-out, previous course form is very important and players who have not played at Quail Hollow before will be at quite a disadvantage. Very good value match bet with TheGreek tie no bet 10/11 Stricker v Immelman 10 units won 9.09 units Steve Stricker has been playing very well in the last two years and came 2nd in this event last year.
