Justin Thomas and Bud Cauley Come into the Zurich Classic as One of the Favorites
7 years agoThe Alabama Crimson Tide team of Justin Thomas and Bud Cauley will make their second consecutive start together at the Zurich Classic. Last year, the duo finished at 19-under par, which was good for a T5 finish. Despite the top-five, the two had a bit of a roller coaster four days. They dominated the Friday and Sunday four-ball (best ball) part of the event, shooting a 64 and 61 but struggled during the foursomes (alternate shot) portion on Thursday and Saturday, shooting a 70 and 74. In their defense, most teams struggled during the foursome section, but their Saturday 74 was about four to seven shots higher than the top teams were doing that day. With last year's experience and arguably the best player in the field (Thomas), their 14/1 odds seem a little underpriced. It is hard to argue against Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson being the top team, but Thomas and Cauley feel like they should be a little lower than their current price.
