What To Look For: 2020 Sanderson Farms Championship

Hudson Swafford wins the Corales Puntacana Club & Resort Championship:





That makes for Swafford's 2nd career victory on Tour.  Unfortunately, Corales Puntacana does not have ShotLink so we cannot further dissect his victory.

The Tour heads to it's second 'alternate field event' with the Sanderson Farms this week:



The Sanderson Farms Championship has been a tournament on Tour, under different names, since 1994.  In 2014 the event moved to the Country Club of Jackson, a John Fought design.



Fought supposedly designed the course with a Donald Ross flavor to it.  Ross designs are known for usually making the golfer use every club in their bag which calls for some lay-up tee shots.  But most of the stress is on approach shots and short game around the green when the greens are missed.

The course gets decent, but nonplussed reviews from Tour players I've talked to.  Statistically it does stress longer approach shots and tee shots.  Since they started playing the event at CC Jackson the winners have been Nick Taylor, Peter Malnati, Cody Gribble, Ryan Armour, Cameron Champ and Sebastian Munoz.  So the winner's of the event haven't exactly become premier Tour players, although Champ and Munoz show a lot of promise.

The final critical hole is the 331 yard par-4 15th hole.



This is a reachable driving hole.  You will get a lot more players laying up off the tee in the first two rounds than one would expect, but the the play is to go for the green and the target should be the center section of the front left part of the green.

Projected Winning Score: -21

Hi guys. As a medical student, I am constantly looking for quality and reliable sources to write my research papers. Recently, I came across an article about sickle cell anemia on https://www.nursingpaper.com/examples/sickle-cell-disease-essay/ , and I must say that it was a real eye-opener! The essay on Sickle Cell Anemia on NursingPaper is an impeccable example of how a research paper should be written. The information is presented in a clear and structured manner, which makes it easy to digest the material. This paper greatly helped me in my exam preparation and improved my knowledge on the topic. I recommend it to all medical students
