While the best in the world are in Tennessee this week for the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, the PGA Tour features an “alternate” tournament with a prize pool of $ 3.5 million. The Barracuda Championship is played at the Tahoe MT Club (California) and in an atypical formula: the modified stableford. Each eagle will be worth five points, a birdie two points. If the par doesn’t score, a bogey will take away a point and a double three points … Third last week at the 3M Open, Argentinian Emiliano Grillo and Swede Alex Noren are among the favorites, as is American Lanto Griffin and South African Branden Grace. Returning to the European Tour, the German Martin Kaymer is there too.
