Twofer Tuesday: Sanderson Farms Championship

Twofer Tuesday heads right down to Mississippi and the Sanderson Farms Championship, that is a complete month earlier this year because of the time table modifications.

Defending champion Cameron Champ

The Country Club of Jackson is hosting the event for the 6th consecutive time, with Cameron Champ being the defending champion. The route is a par-seventy two format and has been stretched to nearly 7500 yards, its longest in those six years. And we are able to probably expect a few heat; it's not unusual to look temperatures inside the 90s F. Last year the sector averaged just over seventy one on the tune and it is reasonable to determine the vegetables team will goal for the equal results this yr.

As some distance as my Twofer Tuesday selections cross, the important thing factor that sticks out approximately this occasion is ROOKIES. Yes, as you can have guessed, all six of the closing Sanderson Farms winners had been rookies. (Of direction, this occasion normally does not have as many vets as other occasions, in order that likely plays a component as properly.) That truth would not imply this year will follow match however it is really worth being aware about it!

  • My Top10er this week is -- surprise! -- Viktor Hovland. I'm still not sure Viktor is ready to win on the big stage yet, but he has tied the record for 17 consecutive rounds in the 60s. Even if he doesn't set a new record, I'm guessing he'll play well enough for another Top10 as he gains experience on the Tour. [UPDATE: Hovland is playing the BMW PGA this week, so I'm going with Corey Conners , last year's runner-up.}
  • And my winner is Scottie Scheffler. He's struggled with his swing a bit lately, but I don't think that will continue for long; he played too well on the Korn Ferry Tour this year for that. It's just a question of when things start 'clicking' again for him, and this week is as good a time as any for him to rediscover his groove.
In what has become something of a routine, GC's coverage starts offevolved Thursday at 2pm ET while PGA TOUR LIVE begins streaming select groups at 8am ET. I'm expecting some hot action this week, even if it's just from the weather!
