Golf best bets: Long shots to target at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans

The Zurich Classic of New Orleans may not be the most exciting tournament on the PGA Tour schedule, but there's still money to be made on the team event. Let's target two long shots with outright and finishing position bets for the unique tournament. 

Justin Suh/Rico Hoey (+11000 FanDuel)

Justin Suh and Rico Hoey could be a sneaky dangerous team at the Zurich Classic because they complement each other well. Hoey is a tremendous ball striker, ranking ninth on the PGA tour this season in strokes gained on approach, 23rd in driving distance and 44th in strokes gained on approach, but he's a dreadful putter. Luckily for him, his partner is one of the best putters in the world.

Suh ranks eighth on Tour this season in strokes gained from putting, but he's terrible in almost every other statistical category. If Suh and Hoey can play off their strengths and offset each other's weaknesses, they could rack up a ton of birdies this week.

Top-10 finish: +700 Top-20 finish: +260

Jimmy Stanger/Adrien Dumont de Chassart (+11000 FD)

We're strictly betting on upside with this pick. Jimmy Stanger ranks 17th on the PGA Tour this year in birdie or better percentage. He hasn't turned that into much success because he makes too many bogeys, but that doesn't matter much at a team event like this. The Zurich Classic is all about being aggressive and stacking birdies, and Stanger can do just that,

Adrien Dumont de Chassart is having a disappointing rookie season, but the Illinois product was a dominant player in the amateur and collegiate ranks. He recorded a win and six straight top-10 finishes on the Korn Ferry Tour last year to earn his PGA Tour card, and it's only a matter of time until his talent shines through on this stage. 

Top-10 finish: +700 Top-20 finish: +260
