Round four report

Henrik Stenson produced a stunning late charge to clinch his first title of the year at the Wyndham Championship, denying Ben Coley's 80/1 each-way selection Ollie Schniederjans in the process.

The Swede carded a final round six-under 66 at Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina to finish one stroke clear of the young American at 22-under par - breaking the course's 72-hole record.

Schniederjans, who was chasing a maiden PGA Tour title, was backed by our in-form golf tipster at 80/1 before the tournament began as Coley looked to bring his followers yet more big profits on the back of last week's 50/1 winner - Justin Thomas - in the US PGA Championship.

Schniederjans finished with a blemish-free round of six-under 64 which culminated in back-to-back birdies but Stenson finished in style with four birdies over the final six holes. He required a composed up-and-down from just off the green to par the last.

Nevertheless Coley's preview brought home 11 points of profit thanks to the each-way part of the bet comfortably coming in.

Stenson's victory is also his sixth career PGA Tour title but most significantly his first since lifting the Claret Jug at The Open last year.

American former US Open champion pair Webb Simpson finished the tournament, which precedes the FedExCup PlayOffs, in third place at 18-under par with a three-under 67.

Kevin Na carded a final-hole bogey to drop back into a tie for fourth place, at 17-under, with second round co-leader Ryan Armour and South Africa's Rory Sabbatini, who both carded final round six-under 64s.

Ireland's Shane Lowry completed an impressive week in Greensboro with a round of 67 to make it four successive sub-70s to sit alongside Cameron Smith and Martin Flores, who made a hole-in-one at the par three 16th on his way to a seven-under 63 during a week which was notable for low scores.

Another subplot was the push by several players to qualify for the playoffs that start on Thursday at The Northern Trust for the top 125 players on the points list.

Flores, who started at No 139, jumped to No 118 and made the playoffs for the first time since 2014 while former major winner Geoff Ogilvy, who was at No 125, finished at 11-under and earned enough points to move to No 116 and secure his spot in the field at Glen Oaks Club.

"I was very aware of where I was all day but I knew that I needed to be somewhere inside the top 10, have to," Flores said. "So I was able to get off to a great start and I was able to just keep it going all day."

Round three report

Henrik Stenson is Sky Bet's 6/4 favourite to win the Wyndham Championship after opening up a one-shot after day three in North Carolina.

But followers of our golf tipster Ben Coley, who continued his great form in 2017 last weekend when his 50/1 selection Justin Thomas won the US PGA Championship, will be hopeful of celebrating another big priced winner should Ollie Schniederjans emerge triumphant.

The American youngster was tipped by Coley at 80/1 each-way in his pre-tournament preview but he's now just 6/1 after a third-round 66 ensured he would enter the final round in a three-way tie for second along with Webb Simpson (7/2) and Kevin Na (6/1).

Stenson's third round of 66 was not always pretty - including a double bogey on the seventh hole - but it was enough to move him up from second overnight and onto 16 under for the tournament.

He had bogeys on the fourth and 11th holes to go with the two dropped shots on the seventh, but made up for them with eight birdies.

"I feel like I've been putting nicely, reading the greens good, maybe the pace was a little out on a couple of occasions so I've found it harder to get it to the hole, but I've seen the lines nicely and when I get there I seem to make the shots," Stenson said on the PGA Tour website. "The putting has been solid.

"I've hit a lot of good iron shots. There were a couple of swings here and there that were not to satisfaction. The one on seven cost me two, one of the 11th cost me another so two swings cost me three shots today, but I'm really happy with the way I finished.

"When you finish strong and you're in contention you're always going to feel good."

Stenson's run of four birdies in five holes down the back stretch saw him pull level with Simpson in the lead before the latter bogeyed the 17th to drop back.

Simpson carded a 68, faring significantly better than fellow overnight leader Ryan Armour (175/1), who had a two-over 72 to tumble down to a share of 11th.

Armour opened with a birdie, but had already dropped two shots before an eagle on the par-five fifth. Two more bogeys and a double bogey on the 14th set him back.

Na had six birdies and a bogey in his round of 65, while Schniederjans recovered from a bogey on the third with six birdies, only to drop another shot on the 16th to join the chasing pack.

Round two report

A career best nine-under 61 lifted Ryan Armour into a share of the lead alongside Sky Bet's joint 5/2 favourite Webb Simpson after the second round of the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro.

Armour, a 14/1 outsider, and Simpson are level at 13 under, one shot ahead of Henrik Stenson and two clear of Ben Coley's tip Ollie Schniedarjans and Vaughn Taylor.

But the day belonged to Armour, who recorded nine birdies - including four in a row - on his blemish-free scorecard.

Armour came into the weekend 187 on the points list, still a long way off the top 125 who will advance to the post-season.

"I think the play-offs started a long time ago for me," he said. "I listed some goals, both personal and professional on Monday, which I hadn't done all year, for the week.

"It was exercise this amount of time, eat this, eat that, and at the top was just win, and at the bottom of the list was, 'Do yourself a favour, and have fun.'

"Casey and I today out there had a lot of fun.

"It's been a long time since I've been in this position but I've got a good guy on the bag and we'll just go out and do what we do, hit the fairways and give ourselves as many opportunities as possible to make putts. That's all I can do."

North Carolina native Simpson, the winner here in 2011, followed up Thursday's 63 with a 64, recording eight birdies but dropping shots on the eighth and ninth holes.

Stenson began the day in second place overall and kept himself firmly in contention with a round of 66, dropping a shot on the 18th but managing five birdies.

Overnight leader Matt Every - who opened with a 61 - could only manage a 72 second time around as he slipped down to a share of 19th place, six shots off the pace.

Round one report

Henrik Stenson is Sky Bet's 5/2 favourite to win the Wyndham Championship after firing a bogey-free 62 to stay within a shot of the lead.

The Swede struck eight birdies in a flawless display on a day of low scoring at Sedgefield Country Club, keeping him in touch with early pacesetter Matt Every.

Every holed out for eagle at the opening hole and added seven more birdies to set the clubhouse target at nine under, missing a putt at the last to equal the course record.

2011 champion Webb Simpson, a 15/2 shot, features sits in a share of third spot on seven under, with Ryder Cup-winning captain Davis Love III part of the group three off the pace.

Stenson birdied the second and added back-to-back gains from the fourth before draining a 20-footer at the eighth to reach the turn in 31.

Three more birdies over the next four holes saw Stenson briefly threaten a "59 round", only for him to miss an opportunity at the par-five 15th and only add one further gain over the closing stretch.

"I hit a lot of good shots out there," Stenson told Sky Sports. "There were plenty of birdies, so it was a good day."

Simpson is joined on seven under by Cameron Smith, Vaughn Taylor, Harold Varner III, Tim Wilkinson and Brian Campbell, while Scottish pair Martin Laird and Russell Knox opened with matching 66s.

Irish pair Shane Lowry and Seamus Power both carded three-under 67s as Graeme McDowell, needing a strong week to have any chance of reaching the FedExCup play-offs, struggled to a one-over 71.
