The Wichita Open will be played on the Crestview North Course, a Par 71 track measuring 6,913 yards and where water comes into play on 11 of the 18 holes.

It is clear that being a short course and playing host to so much water and numerous bunkers that protect the greens and fairways, accuracy will be the key attribute over power this week. It will be imperative to look for those players who rank highly in Driving Accuracy but more importantly GIR as attacking this course and making birdies is the way to win here.

Be sure to look for someone who plays the par 5 holes well as two of the holes at Crestview were among the four easiest on tour over the last few years. It is also worth noting that Crestview is known for the wind getting up and all of the par 3 holes play into the predominant south wind so a player who is a wind specialist will be at an advantage.

My picks are as follows:

Wyndham Clark - 0.5pts ew @ 66/1 - He is 7th in the All Around ranking and a respectable 28th in Par 5 Average. In all, the main reason for this pick is his price, 66-1 is too big for a player who has three top 5s so far this year.

Total Staked - 1pt
