Winner Pick
R. Hoey & D. Lipsky to win Zurich Classic of New Orleans(+3700)

There are some intriguing partnerships for this year’s edition of the Zurich Classic and one duo who look to be heading into the tournament under the radar are Rico Hoey and David Lipsky.

While Hoey has failed to make the cut in his 2 Zurich attempts, it has been a very different story for Lipsky, who has tied-4th finishes in 2022 and 2025 to go along with a tied-13th in 2023 and a T23 in 2024. The 37-year-old American came close to winning his maiden PGA Tour title at the Valspar Championship last month when finishing 2nd and he arrives in Louisiana armed with a red-hot flat stick, which has him ranked 6th in putting average and 4th in putts per round.

Hoey has shown positives in recent weeks after a slow start to the season, and he may benefit from teaming up with a player who has a warm affinity for this course.

Winner Pick
M. Penge & M. Wallace to win Zurich Classic of New Orleans(+2700)

The English pairing of Marco Penge and Matt Wallace have both come close to winning on the US circuit this season, and they are worth keeping on side to triumph in the Pelican State. Penge, in his rookie PGA Tour season, was tied-4th at the Valspar and also recently finished tied-49th on his Masters debut at Augusta National, while Wallace shared 2nd at the Texas Open this month. With Penge being one of the best drivers around and Wallace rediscovering the type of form which has helped deliver 6 titles across the PGA and DP World Tours, these 2 could be a lethal combination.
