How good is Quicken Loans

TPC Potomac host the Quicken Loans National for the first timepiece last year and there is a finite course format that can be continued apart from the event Kyle Stanley won 12 month ago. David Lingmerth of Sweden is the other Maryland based successful after winning the Neediest Kids Championship of the Web.com Tour six years ago, and he enjoyed the comeback last year with a fifth place result.

It' s hard to get caught up in this kind of play, however, as he is returning this year in weak condition and could drop into a matched wager with New Zealander Danny Lee. Armed with a top 30 finish in each of his four prior trips, last year's event saw him enter pole position, but that's not the case 12-month later.

In October of this year he came 4th at the UK Masters - he played a third round 62 - but he hasn't really been in a crisis since then, so it's really rewarding to take him this time. He was a laudable twenty-two while missing the Memorial and St Jude Classic cuts, finishing seventh at the Players Championship, 14th at the Fort Worth Invitational and fifteenth at the Travelers Championship last weekend.

Marc Leishman of Australia was another of last year's five-man draws, but it's quite a shock to see him as the favourites to beat Italy's Francesco Molinari. His shape, however, has been irrelevant since he came 9th in the Masters, despite his second place in the Byron Nelson.

Molinari was a bit of a surprise, as he lost two strokes in the Travelers' green, while Molinari was looking for his first US Tour victory to be prepared for a big game. This Turin man won the PGA Championship at Wentworth last November and finished second at the Italian Open before recovering well from a frustrating opening 75 at the US Open with a laudable twenty-fifth place.

Avenel Farm Tracks require a precise game away from the tees and Molinari should be familiar with these requirements.
