Earlier in the week, a confident Rory McIlroy explained why he feels he has the advantage at the unknown Wilmington Country Club this weekend.

“It’s a golf course that’s sort of is a little more up my alley compared to say last week in Memphis,” McIlroy said Wednesday after his pro-am round via Golf.com. “A lot more drivers off the tee, a lot of room off the tee, a lot more, I guess, scope to hit driver. Length is an advantage here, where in Memphis it’s not really.”

At 7,534 yards, Wilmington is significantly longer than what PGA players have been playing in recent weeks, which should play into Rory McIlroy’s advantage.

“These sort of big northeast-style golf courses, they’re great venues to play tournaments on,” he said. “They’re the sort of golf courses that I typically do well on.”

The betting odds for the BMW Championship this weekend show that the event is basically wide open for anyone to win. But like in most tournaments, Rory McIlroy has as good of a chance as anyone to take home the trophy on Sunday.
