Zurich Classic Of New Orleans Trends

Zurich Classic of New Orleans Trends

Justin Rose is prominent in the betting as he looks to defend his title in New Orlean. We examine the trends of past winners.

Scoring at TPC Louisiana last year was low again, driven largely by soft conditions. Justin Rose’s winning score was 22-under and it could be a similar story again.

Top-60 on tour for GIRs
Last year 55 players finished the tournament 10-under or better; the cut came at -5. To compete you have to create plenty of birdies opportunities and that means hitting GIRs.

Top-60 on tour for all-around ranking
The low winning score would normally suggest a straight shoot-out but TPC Louisiana has some teeth and you need a good all-round game to compete.

Top-60 on tour for par-4 scoring
The par-5s offer easy pickings but what separates the winners from the also rans, is good scoring on the par-4s. Seung-Yul Noh was 13-under on the par-4s in 2014, whilst 2013 champion Billy Horschel bagged 14 birdies on the par-4s on the way to victory.
