The PGA TOUR heads to New Orleans this week for the Zurich Classic at TPC Louisiana. This is the only two-man team event on the PGA TOUR schedule. Rory McIlroy makes his tournament debut alongside good friend, Ryder Cup teammate and fellow Irishman Shane Lowry. McIlroy is looking to build some momentum this season, as he has posted only one top-15 thus far (third at the Valero Texas Open). Lowry recently went T4-3rd-T19 on the Florida Swing. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele play together this week in an attempt to claim the title back after their victory in 2022. Cantlay played well for a T3 finish last week at the RBC Heritage, while Schauffele’s T2 at THE PLAYERS Championship and 8th place finish at the Masters will give him confidence. The pair claimed T4 in defense of their title last year. Davis Riley and Nick Hardy will defend their 2023 title this week. No team has ever gone back-to-back at this event. Others to look out for are Sahith Theegala and Will Zalatoris, as well as three sets of brothers including Alex and Matt Fitzpatrick, Rasmus and Nicolai Højgaard and Parker and Pierceson Coody.

now mroy at 11 265 Front 279 right back
into the wind and you’re going to have
to get it try and get it all the way
there it’s an opportunity
though oh yeah do
it almost made that well of of course
when Craig said noan was getting here
wonderful hands and he’s seen the
blueprint just bump it in The Fringe and
let it release
oh
wow call the cops someone has been
robbed back right into the wind again
and starting to
gust and absolutely pummeled down that
left side if it can just carry the edge
of the bunk it would be
perfect and it did not actually looked
like it kicked underneath the
lip over at the 12th Lowry playing the
team second
yeah really no chance to advance as
small than 50 or 75 yards it was an
unfortunate break focused on this part
of the
game nice abbreviated follow through and
flighting down but not a good
one 164th on the PGA
tour but let’s break it in this format
got a teammate or just leave it a foot
and a half short in the heart one of the
two but it’s hard to be aggressive when
you
know you don’t get to hit the next one
coming back iron in there that power
five Lowry at 13 where are we going well
what are we doing 80% of the fairways
there’s not a fairway over there oh boy
carried the bunker and kicked on through
so maybe that was the Rory line what a
break that’s like 330 to cover up that
side I was like what are we doing here
this is uh he’s not even inside the top
100 in distance on the tour but not a
difficult pitch here you can bump it in
The Fringe or you can land it on the
green on the green is into the
green it look to be executed well it
just quite released out good shot though
if there’s any dent in his armor it’s
this
range nicely done good firm confident
put I I don’t know I’d say the win right
now is 12 to 15 I don’t know if it’s a
good 20 added to the number he knows
better than I this is p and needs to get
up the water might be in play here
W whoa whoa whoa whoa stay up stay
up catch your breath Shane it held up
and you are in
play Ro
just I wish I had that on
video not much elevation change uh and
this one just gently down a slope and
the grain constant pretty much straight
down the whole
way pretty well judged from
Rory Rory melroy’s lag putt got Shane
Lowry this about three and a half fet
Craig and no problem for Lowry 11 the
whole location 14 on to 18 Rory mroy set
up Shane Lowry for this approach yeah
just 205
and that one launched way up and there
look to landed softly that t-shot went
368 wow and you see the roll out there
if you’re feeling good about yourself
you might better to
make I see what you did
there look at this look at this oh mroy
rims it
out almost hold out for Eagle instead
it’ll be a birdie putt for Shane Lowry
from just a couple feet he does hit his
short putts pretty firmly he gives them
a
hit oh no wow that was a
shove and that is a missed opportunity
for Lowry and
mroy mooy and Lowry not going forward
here struggling at
three they long bunker shot from an UPS
slope back into the wind
right a cup
player I thought he was going to make
that after I just put him on a pedestal
but yeah struggling with the flat stick
a little bit felt like this
team should have been at least two or
three shots better than they are and
then now it’s it’s all about how do they
bounce back yeah I think you take it at
the bunkers James and use the wind to
your advantage here you don’t think you
have to take the water on
here and it started at the bunkers and
trying to drift needs a little friendly
bounce didn’t get it
oh how about this one here for
Lowry yeah can’t get there 170 and
that’s about uh 50 yards in front of
that was unfortunate again that that
drive it’s another one that didn’t miss
by more than the yard to get back in the
Fairway inviting ho location can drive
it all the way back
[Applause]
there nicely done and it on that down
slope and get it to
[Applause]
stop oh a huge save for Shane
Lowry 215 online 225 flag and on an up
slope in the
Fairway just a smooth swing with a
little
draw yeah that’s pretty fancy right
there
guys
easy oh you’re
kidding okay that’s not too bad there
with his skills around the game around
the green I think he got a chance to
pitch this one in a little influx of
energy right
[Music]
[Applause]
here
o I mean you could get 190 bll speed and
just go ahead and get this thing green
high a lot of trouble up around the
screen I love it you went far off Craig
187 mph ball speed is short game good
chance to get this one
close really
good very nice when your your partner
can put you just around the green
they’re all important but this one just
to continue to to move towards the
lead really couldn’t execute three shots
better than that for this team it’s
still the second best round of the day
and they may need more than that over to
nine co-leaders Lowry 213 win pretty
much just right to left tough to get to
that right hole
location oh d
great
execution sounded beautiful flew it all
the way back there ball will be landing
on down Green can you release it to the
hole right there
right trying to make it from there
before Nick Taylor played to tie for the
lead so there you go
70 for low and
