Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele became the first team wire-t0-wire champions, eventually winning by two strokes with a score of 29-under 259 at TPC Louisiana in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans on Sunday.
Cantlay and Schauffele began the tournament shooting a record low score of 59 in best ball format in the opening round; they followed up with 68 in alternate shots on Friday, 60 in the third round, and closed out with an even par round 72 leaving a comfortable three-stroke lead on the final hole where they tapped in for bogey.
