Sam Belden
Jason Day/Rickie Fowler
Sam Belden has made his choice and it is the Jason Day-Rickie Fowler tandem who he thinks will win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans this week. Fowler has been playing some terrific golf of late, grabbing top-20 finishes in each of his last six starts, including an 11th-place showing at Augusta earlier this month. Day, on the other hand, loves playing at TPC Louisiana, finding the top-5 in each of his last two starts there. With this pairing featuring two of the world’s top-10 golfers, it isn’t far-fetched to see this star duo win the championship this week. They are pegged at +600to do just that.
