Cameron Champ +1600
Champ is the hottest player on the PGA Tour right now. The only thing missing from his resume is a victory. Will he get it this week? Champ is on the brink of joining the top-25 on the Web.com Tour so the urgency will certainly be there heading in to the final stretch of the regular season. Perhaps this is the week that Champ finally captures that elusive victory.
Sebastian Munoz +2200
Munoz is also red-hot heading in to this event after securing his second runner-up finish of the season at the LECOM Health Challenge. Munoz has two runner-up results and five top-10 finishes on the year and he should be primed for another top-10 finish this week. The value is certainly there if you think Munoz can remain hot in Utah.
Sungjae Im +2500
Im has yet to concede the top spot on the money list in any week this season. That likely won’t change this week in Utah. Im is coming off another top-10 finish in the LECOME Health Challenge and he has been a model of consistency all year. Expect another top-10 finish at the minimum with a very good chance that Im contends for the win this week.
K.H. Lee +2800
Lee is currently ranked No. 3 on the list of the top-25 on the Web.com Tour this season. The only issue is that he hasn’t won an event yet this year. That could change with a strong performance this week as Lee searches for his fifth top-three result of the season. Lee will be in the mix of contenders at the Utah Championship. Eventually, he will get over the hump and win a tournament. The only question is whether or not it happens at this event.
Josh Teater +3300
Teater fell four spots to 30th on the Web.com Tour money list following a disappointing finish last week. That should provide even more motivation for him to bounce back this week. Teater won the Utah Championship in 2009. This event will be the perfect platform for him to leapfrog back in to the top-25 in terms of the money list.
Adam Long +3300
The former Duke Blue Devil continued his climb up the money list when he moved from 21st to 18th on the Web.com Tour. He followed up a runner-up finish with another top-25 result last week, giving him eight top-25 finishes on the season. Long should be in the mix again with another likely top-10 finish in Utah. At long odds, he is worth taking a chance on to win the tournament.
Wyndham Clark +3300
Speaking of long odds, Clark sits seventh on the Web.com Tour money list but is still available at +3300 to win this tournament. Clark has produced three straight top-25 finishes and should be well rested after taking last week off. He has the chance to make a statement at the Utah Championship.
Chase Wright +4500
If you are willing to dig even deeper for a sleeper pick available at long odds, Wright should be a solid pick at +4500 odds. He already has a win and an additional top-five finish over his last four starts. Plus, he placed in the top-10 in Utah in 2014. Wright should be in the mix again this week as a solid value sleeper pick to contend for the outright win at the Utah Championship.
