Zurich Classic
Shane Lowry/Ian Poulter Win ($21)
Form on Pete Dye courses is essential here and few play as well on his designs as Lowry and Poulter. Both rank Top 26 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on Pete Dye courses. A good approach game combined with a strong putting record on bermuda greens are also strong indicators and these two complement each other well with Lowry a tremendous iron player and Poulter excellent on the bermuda greens.
