EXPERT | WHO WILL CONTEND | WHO WILL WIN | COMMENT |
Rob Bolton - Golfbet Insider | Max Homa/Collin Morikawa Sam Burns/Billy Horschel | Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay | Both ended relative victory droughts here last year. Neither has won yet this season, so it’ll be déjà vu all over again. |
Mike Glasscott - Golfbet Contributor | Tom Kim/Si Woo Kim Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay | Sam Burns/Billy Horschel | The two-time winner on this track and the native son posted 45-under over the last two editions, one better than the defending champions. The next step is lifting the trophy. |
Ben Everill - Senior Writer, Golfbet | Sahith Theegala/Justin Suh Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay | Tom Kim/Si Woo Kim | The only team with two winners from this season, this Presidents Cup duo has just the right amount of talent and friendship to shine. |
Sean Martin - Lead, Editorial | Max Homa/Collin Morikawa Tom Kim/Si Woo Kim | Joel Dahmen/Denny McCarthy | A straight hitter and a strong putter. Sounds like a good combination to me. |
Christian Skaret - Product Manager, Digital | Kurt Kitayama/Taylor Montgomery Sungjae Im/Keith Mitchell | Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay | These two are playing heads and shoulders above the field at Zurich. No other duo in the field has notched more top 10s this season than Cantlay (5) & Schauffele (7). Title defense incoming. |
Cameron Morfit - Staff Writer | Sungjae Im/Keith Mitchell Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay | Sam Burns/Billy Horschel | I covered the still underrated Burns cruising to victory in Austin, and Horschel lives for this event. |
