Thompson Turns Focus to Quail Hollow

by Roz Roberts III

Michael Thompson tees off tomorrow at the Wells Fargo Championship.  The WFC is played at the Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina and is typically one of the more difficult host courses on the PGA Tour.

Michael is coming off another top 10 finish after he finished tied for 10th at the RBC Heritage.  It was Michael's fourth top 10 finish out of 12 starts on the season.  With over 440 Fedexcup points (good for 58th right now), Michael has solidly secured a top 125 finish for the season which will earn him entry into this year's Fedexcup playoffs and a fully exempt PGA Tour card for next year.

Michael tees off tomorrow at 7:10am ET with playing partners Josh Teater and Denny McCarthy from the first hole.
