The Zurich Classic is scheduled to go down on Thursday, April 23 this season, How will the players fare on the challenging TPC Louisiana is still up in the air.

The TPC will challenge the players with it's length while still demanding shotmaking. The course has been tweaked in recent years to enhance playability yet retain difficulty. The par-3 third hole measures 221 yards and tests the player with mounding front of the green and water in the back and right. Players will need to be up too speed early to tame this hole. The finishing two holes will certainly play center stage should the tournament come down to the wire on Sunday. Seventeen is another lengthy par-3 at 215 yards, with a re-shaped green that will make par a good score. Eighteen is a middle length par-5 at 589 yards that is a true risk/reward hole with fairway mounding that will test the golfers to lay up in the right area should they decide not to go for the green in two. The course has been good to golfers looking for their first win however, five players have earned their first PGA victory in the last six years here.

2009 TPC Zurich Classic Results

Jerry Kelly was hungry for a victory. More importantly, he was just plain hungry.

Following his Wednesday pro-am at the Zurich Classic, Kelly revealed -- no, bragged -- that he had put away three-dozen char-grilled oysters at the turn. Which was nothing, really, considering his all-time personal record of 58 in one sitting.

During a week in which French Quarter eateries are often more populated by PGA Tour players than the driving range, Kelly's appetite was finally satisfied with a final-round 71 that ended with a par on the 72nd hole to win by a single shot.

And so it was only fitting that he preceded the final 2 strokes by rubbing his belly while walking down the fairway and was later served -- what else? -- more oysters as a celebratory victory meal.

This edition of the Weekly 18 begins with a look into the incredible, edible week that was for Jerry Kelly.

2006 Zurich Classic Results

Such top-ranked pros as Phil Mickelson, Retief Goosen and Stuart Appleby competed in 2006. But it was up-and-comer Chris Couch who won in electric fashion by one stroke, an impressive 19 under par.

The Zurich Classic is committed to the rebirth of an even greater New Orleans. Proceeds raised from the 2007 tournament will benefit the children’s services organizations even more in need after the storm.

So it looks like a win-win. Don’t miss the Louisiana-style fun and excitement you’ve come to expect from golf in New Orleans. And help in the recovery of the city’s vital services for its children while you are at it.

The year is 1996. An up-and-coming pro named Kelly Gibson closes with three-straight 65s, but falls a shot shy in his bid to join a playoff with Davis Love III and Tiger Woods at the Las Vegas Invitational. As the story so often goes, the young Woods goes on to capture his first PGA Tour title, while Gibson falls off the public radar screen.

Yet we contemplate - If one more shot had gone Gibson's way back in '96, might we be talking about the "Gibby Slam" as opposed to "The Tiger Slam?" Probably not.

Why do we bring this up? Because the Zurich Classic takes place this week at the new TPC of Louisiana in New Orleans, which was designed by Pete Dye, with consultation from Steve Elkington and guess who? Kelly Gibson, a native of New Orleans.

While Vijay Singh braved a Monday finish last year at English Turn Country Club to hold off Phil Mickelson and Joe Ogilvie by a shot, Gibson carded 3 rounds in the 60s but faltered with a 3rd round 76. "1-iron" likes nuances, and this certainly could be the year's best Cinderella tale if Gibson could catch lightening in a bottle for 4 straight days here at the Zurich Classic.

Even though the Zurich Classic is being played on a new course, don't be quick to bet against players who have had success here in years past.
