  • Zurich Classic Scoring Records
    Zurich Classic of New Orleans Record Book (est. 2017, thru 2019) *2017 & 2018 Format Information: An historic change was made to the format of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2017, making the event a two-player team event featuring Foursomes (alternate shot) during the first and third rounds and Four-ball (best ball) during the second and fourth rounds. A change was made at the 2018 Zurich Classic of New Orleans , with the two formats switching rotations. Rounds one and three in the two-player team event featured the Four-ball (best ball) format, while the second and fourth rounds used the Foursomes (alternate shot) format. Since the formation of the PGA TOUR (1968), the Zurich Classic became the first official event to utilize Foursomes as part of a team competition. The 2017 Zurich Classic was the first official PGA TOUR team event in 36 years. Before that, the last official PGA TOUR team event was the 1981 Walt Disney World National Team Championship held at the Magnolia, Palm and Lake Buena Vista courses at Disney. Vance Heafner and Mike Holland won that title. The tournament became an individual stroke-play event in 1982. The Zurich Classic awards FedExCup points and official money and counts as an official victory for the members of the winning team. RECORDS Lowest 9-Hole Score: 28 ( -8) Four-ball 2017, R4 - Kevin Kisner/Scott Brown (front 9), R4 - Brooks Koepka/Chase Koepka (front 9), R4 - Justin Thomas/Bud Cauley (front 9) 31 (-5) Foursomes 2017, R3 - Kevin Kisner/Scott Brown (back 9) 2018, R2 - David Lingmerth/Danny Lee (front 9) 2019, R2 – Russell Henley/Ryan Blaum (front 9), Bubba Watson/J.B.
