Billy Horschel and Scott Piercy return to defend their title at this week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans in what will be Year 3 of the revamped team format.
Horschel and Piercy finished 22 under last year, besting Jason Dufner and Pat Perez by a stroke. The new-look Zurich Classic uses two-man teams with four-balls in Rounds 1 and 3 and foursomes in Rounds 2 and 4. Jonas Blixt and Cameron Smith, who won in 2017, are also back this year. Brooks Koepka is the top-ranked player in the filed (No. 3). He’s teamed up with his brother, Chase. They tied for 5th in the event in 2017.
