Jason Day to Partner with Ryan Ruffels at the Zurich Classic
7 years agoJason Day will partner with fellow Australian Ryan Ruffels at the Zurich Classic. The 19-year-old Ruffels is a downgrade over Rickie Fowler, who was Day's partner last year in New Orleans. The powerful duo of Day and Fowler did not experience any success last year, missing the cut by two strokes. The young Ruffels, who is ranked 677th in the world, is a much better player than his ranking would suggest. He is an up-and-coming golfer who is 9-for-16 in made cuts on the PGA Tour. He also has one top-25 during that stretch, a T20 at the 2016 Zurich Classic when it was still a solo event. The team of Day and Ruffels is worth a flier at 33/1 odds. The world-class talent of Day mixed with the young exuberance of Ruffels makes them one of the more captivating stories in this year's tournament.
