AVONDALE, La. — The first few days in Louisiana have been a success for Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. The pair opened with a record-breaking 59, then followed it up by shooting a 4-under 68 in Friday’s alternate shot session.
The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is a unique event offering the PGA Tour pros a break from the normalcy of stroke play. Rounds 1 and 3 consist of best ball (or Fourballs), while rounds 2 and 4 are alternate shot (otherwise know as Foursomes).
Although the Schauffele/Cantlay team is leading the pack, several teams lurk just a few shots back.
