Lucas Glover to win 25/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes, Bet365, BlueSq and Boyle Sports  20th
Siding with three Clemson players, which, even though Clemson is in South rather than North Carolina, "feels like home, ... it feels like South Carolina", in the words of Jonathan Byrd. Plus, they can count on a good contingent of support not only from Clemson, but due to being born in South Carolina and, for Glover and Warren, living just 160 miles down Route 85 in Greenville. They have all used that local factor to good effect in previous years and in Glover's case, it has meant an improvement in each of his three previous visits, culminating in a 6th place finish last year. In a good run of form that has yielded four top-15 finishes in his last five events in the U.S., a further improvement in his finishing position may well be achieved this week.

Jonathan Byrd to win 33/1 e.w. @ Bet365 and Boyle Sports  13th
While Glover may be consistent, Byrd does have the distinction of having won an event in the past month: the John Deere Classic. Allied to a strong course history - two top-5 finishes in five years - and an extra weekend of preparation for this event after his missed the cut in last week's PGA Championship, Byrd should be another who finishes high up the leaderboard this week.

Charles Warren to win 50/1 e.w. @ Sportingbet / Sporting Odds  13th
Apart from the local connections, Warren can boast being the joint course record holder (62) when finishing 3rd in 2005 and finished 2nd last time out in the Reno-Tahoe Open two weeks ago. Well-rested from not playing last week, he is the third member of this group who has already qualified for the FedEx Cup playoffs and has his Tour Card secured for next year, so is purely playing because this is a local event and that can be an important motivational factor at this stage of the season.
