Zurich Classic of New Orleans 28/4 - 1/5

[Bamford]

A modest par 72 featuring Miniverde Bermudagrass greens. Short or long players can be competitive here, where the real key is to keep bogeys off the card, whilst taking your opportunities on the short par 4s and the par 5s.  It's a course where consistency rather than brute force ultimately prevails.With wind in-play and conditions faster than last year expect -16/272 to -18/270 to be the winning totals. Players sub -15/273 will be right in the mix.

 

New winners are a feature here, but elite players who are hungry for a win like Justin Rose last year have also taken the title.

 

I'm going for a mix of winners and non-winners, and players who I think will hopefully be able to hit the +72% of greens required to get into the mix.  So Horschel (22s), Berger (28s), Kirk (40s) and Castro (175s).

 

Best of luck.
