2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans: Round 4 format, tee times, pairings and featured groups

After shooting a -12 round of 60 yesterday, Patrick Fishburn and Zac Blair lead the Zurich Classic of New Orleans heading into the tournament’s final day today.

Chances like this “don’t come that often” - Blair

The American pair, who are both looking for their first ever win at a PGA Tour event, go into the fourth round at -23, one stroke ahead of Luke List and Henrik Norlander.

“It’s kind of why you’re out here playing is to have opportunities like this,” Blair said, per AP. “I’ve been out here a handful of years now, so I know that they don’t come that often, and so we’ll do our best to go take advantage of it.”

McIlory among names in Zurich Classic chasing pack

World No. 2 Rory McIlory and fellow Irishman Shane Lowry were tied for the lead before Saturday’s four-ball, but have now slipped two shots back. They sit joint-third alongside Ryan Brehm and Mark Hubbard, who had also gone into round three among the frontrunners.

The pre-tournament favourites, world No. 5 Xander Schauffele and eighth-ranked Patrick Cantlay, have slipped to six shots off the lead. Defending champions Nick Hardy and Davis Riley are one stroke further back.

What is today’s Zurich Classic format?

Today’s fourth round will revert to the alternate-shot format used on day two of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. Team-mates will take turns hitting the same ball, with one player teeing off on odd-numbered holes, and the other on even-numbered holes.
