Zurich: Team Player Pool

Apr 18, 2023

Will have some notes later this evening/tomorrow
No real course preview because it’s a flat and easy scoring course. Team event and style doesn’t really let us drill down exactly what we’re looking for, so just looking at overall games and what usually correlates best with success.
I am incredibly annoyed that Matt Fitzpatrick and his brother are $8,200. Easily the best value in the field.

Team score is straight forward - it’s each individual rank added together and then divided by two. These are the top 25 teams. As a reminder, top 33 teams + ties make the cut after round 2 completes.
Salivating about the Olesen & Hojgaard pairing.
Benny An & S.H. Kim really stood out to me as well. Another I eyed was Ben Martin & Chesson Hadley. They aren’t too far apart putting wise, but Chesson is slightly better overall with the flat stick and that seems to be where Martin will give away some of his rounds.
Further details coming.
