Hi everyone! I just came across the news from the PGA Tour that the Zürich Open has changed the tournament format from a straight individual medal/stroke play event of four rounds to a format of 2-person teams. The 2 person team plays a "best ball" (best score on the team) on the first day and a "foursome" (alternating shot) format for the second day with a cut happening at that point. It is not match play - strokes are still counted. The tournament format is repeated on the weekend for the teams that make the cut.
So, assuming that we were in the Zürich Open, which PGA tour pro would you partner with for this event? We see Rickie Fowler and Day are partnering as are Rose and Henrik Stenson. Let's assume that they are available to be picked for our event. :-)
For me, I would probably pick DJ -- not only would his prodigious length off of the tee be a huge asset, but I think his calm demeanour would be a perfect counter to my own temperament (I tend to be hard on myself as a player) and I must admit that I was in awe of DJ in the way that he handled the US OPEN rules controversy! Besides, can you imagine hitting short irons into long par 4's for the approach shot in an alternating ball format??
Curious as to who you would pick and why!
