Zuich Classic Picks & Predictions

Following last week's dark horse winner of Matt Fitzpatrick at the RBC Classic, let's take a shot on a rising pair of players that have made their mark on Tour since the start of the 2022-23 season. Kurt Kitayama won The Players Championship this year for a big breakthrough win. Taylor Montgomery has had five straight top-15 finishes, including three top-10's to start the season as a mostly unknown player. He then finished T5 at The American Express in January but hasn't contended since.

Both players played golf at UNLV and live in Las Vegas. There is clearly risk with neither golfer having played TPC Louisiana on Tour. That said, let's try to hit the jackpot this week on the team from Vegas with Montgomery's top-ranked short game and putting helping them contend.

Pick: Taylor Montgomery and Kurt Kitayama (+2400) to Win and/or Finish Top 10
