We would have beat it if Brian hadn't actually let us down with his putting, Sabbatini quipped about the usually lethal putter Gay.Gays steady play and Sabbatinis aggressiveness have kept this duo, a combined 90 years old, more than relevant so far this week. Theyve stopped trying to find a longer, younger partnerto team up with for this event, and instead have found each other.Going into foursomes, the veterans believe they can keep the momentum going as much younger teams, such as Scott Stallings and Trey Mullinax (11 under), J.T. Poston and Stephan Jaeger (10 under) and Joel Dahmen and Brandon Harkins (9 under), chase them.I think it felt like we actually match up very well because we've got very similar games in regard to how far we hit the ball, so we know what kind of lines we're looking at, Sabbatini said. But I actually felt very comfortable playing with him. Obviously, it's great having him out there because you know he's always going to putt well, so that takes a lot of pressure off it from the get-go.Notables Brooks Koepka and Chase Koepka are 5 under, Jason Day and Adam Scott sit at 7 under, and Patrick Reed and Patrick Cantlay shot 65 in the first round. The cut, which is the low 35 teams and ties, will be made Saturday morning after the completion of 36 holes, and the current line is at 7 under.
Brian Gay and Rory Sabbatini shot a 60 in the first round of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, tying the lowest score since the event began using the team format.
