Sleeper Picks: Zurich Classic of New Orleans
Here are some sleeper picks for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans:
Outright: Dylan Wu and Justin Lower (+6600): Despite being winless on the PGA TOUR, this duo had a respectable T10 finish in their debut at TPC Louisiana last year. Both players have shown improvement this season, with Wu securing two top 25 finishes, including a T19 at THE PLAYERS Championship, and Lower performing well with a T3 at the Mexico Open and a T4 at the Corales Puntacana Championship. Lower's strong approach game and Wu's balanced attack make them an intriguing sleeper pick.
Top 10: Nate Lashley and Rafael Campos (+550): Although it's their first time teaming up for this tournament, both Lashley and Campos have had solid performances in 2024, each securing three top 25 finishes. Lashley's accuracy off the tee and Campos' proficiency in ball-striking make them a promising duo for this format.
Top 20: Charley Hoffman and Nick Watney (+550): Hoffman has been on a resurgence this season, with notable performances like a playoff loss at the WM Phoenix Open and a recent T4 finish at the Corales Puntacana Championship. Despite some initial struggles last year, Hoffman and Watney managed to secure a T19 finish, showcasing their experience and ability to excel in team competitions.
