Twofer Tuesday: Korn Ferry Tour Championship

The PGA Tour is executed for more than one weeks, so Twofer Tuesday must look to the opposite tours. Next week I'll probably take a look at out the Porsche European Open on the ET, however this week it's the Korn Ferry Tour Championship. That's wherein the most drama is.

The Korn Ferry Tour is headed to Victoria National GC in Newburgh IN. This Indiana course could be tougher than the lads have visible the closing couple of years after they played the Tour Championship at the Atlantic Beach Country Club in Florida. The triumphing scores in FL were in the 23-24 under variety (defending champion Denny McCarthy, pictured above, changed into 23-underneath) even as Victoria National winners have been within the 6-12 beneath category.

Perhaps a word of rationalization is in order. Victoria National hosted the tour's United Leasing Championship for the final seven years. The last two years' winners had been both 6-under. PGATOUR.Com says of Victoria "the route has ranked within the top-3 maximum difficult on Tour for the past six years." So regular gamers of the Korn Ferry Tour must be familiar with this tune.

But who will win this week? Let's see if being a Twofer Tuesday choose shakes the up-and-comers as badly because it appears to shake the PGA Tour execs!

• My Top10er this week is Anirban Lahiri. The Indian player has struggled on the Big Tour this season but seems to have found his groove in the Korn Ferry Tour Finals. In the first two events he has placed T7 and T5 respectively and sits at seventh place in the Finals 25, guaranteeing his Tour card for next year. With the pressure off and his groove on, I think he should finish well this week.
• And my winner is Scottie Scheffler. Scheffler has played the Korn Ferry Tour all season, posting a win and two runner-ups during the regular season, giving him the #1 spot in The 25 before these finals even began. Then he won the first Finals event and posted a T11 last week. Given his form all year, I won't be surprised to see him leave the Korn Ferry Tour with a third win.

Monday is Labor Day, a holiday here in the US, so the KF Tour Championship will run from Friday to Monday. GC's coverage begins Friday at 1pm ET. It's the last chance to get a PGA Tour card and the PGATOUR.com article I listed above says there are only 13 cards still available. It should be a mad scramble come Monday!
