Bamford Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Dustin Johnson, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed head the field as this week's Valspar Championship, played on the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook Resort, Palm Harbor, Florida. This is the last Florida tournament of 2021 on the PGA Tour, but Copperhead certainly isn't your typical exposed Florida golf course. As a 7,340 yard Par 71, the course is tight off the tee but, unlike other typical Florida courses, the Larry Packard design has tree-lined fairways, plenty of elevation changes and dog-leg holes. Copperhead achieves this fairly unique layout as it contains 4 par-5s and 5 par-3s, which is highly unusual for a Par 71 course. It's the kind of course which could undoubtedly host a US Open. Tough and technical, featuring TifEagle Bermudagrass greens overseeded with Poa Trvialis, champions here since 2010 include Jim Furyk, Gary Woodland, Jordan Spieth, Charl Schwartzel and Paul Casey, who this week goes for a hat-trick of victories. My selections are Corey Conners 25/1, Sungjae Im 30/1, Justin Rose 40/1, Keith Mitchell 160/1 and Chase Seiffert 250/1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
