The Zurich Classic of New Orleans: The leading combinations in the PGA Tour's only pairs event
72-hole strokeplay rules the roost, individual match play gets one week a year, team match play (the Ryder and Presidents Cup) get another.
Five years ago the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, a geographically confusing title if ever there was one, decided to mix things up a little.
The latter version of the game is used in the first and third rounds - an opportunity for both player to complete the hole and gun for as many birdies as they can manage. Going low on those days matters.
But also note the conditions. Last year's winners, Marc Leishman and Cameron Smith, thrashed 63s in the two fourball rounds, but 72 and 70 in the foursomes.
