Andrew Novak and Ben Griffin were one of seven teams who shot 61s in the Saturday fourballs, and this moved them from one shot off the lead to three shots clear going into the final day.
Pre-tournament favourites Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry are five shots back, tied in 6th. Foursomes, which Sunday’s play will be be, they view as their strength. But have they left themselves too much ground to make up?
The Zurich Classic is the only team event on the PGA Tour. The first and third rounds, on Thursday and Saturday, are played as a better ball, a format that encourages attacking aggressive play. The second and final rounds are played on Friday and Sunday as foursomes, a format also known as alternate shot.
Rory McIlroy made his debut in this event last year and won with partner Shane Lowry, overcoming Chad Ramey and Martin Trainer in a playoff. He again teams up with Shane Lowry. This is the eighth year of the tournament being played as a team event and no team has yet won back-to-back titles.
Another former winning duo returning are Nick Hardy and Davis Riley, who set a tournament-record score of 30-under in 2023. World number four Colin Morikawa is also in the field, partnered by Kurt Kitayama.

What is the format of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans?
The Zurich Classic was first played in 1938 as standard singles strokeplay tournament. But in 2017 it changed to a team format, and is the only team event on the PGA Tour.
The first member of each team is initially chosen via the Tour priority rankings, and he choses his partner. This partner must be a PGA Tour member unless they are awarded a sponsor exemption.
Eighty teams take part and after round two the top 33 teams and ties on the leaderboard qualify for the third and fourth rounds.
The first and third rounds are played as better ball. In this format both team member play their own ball, and the team score for each who is that of whoever scores the lower on it.
The second and fourth rounds are played as foursomes. In this the team has only one ball, and one partner tees off on all the odd-numbered holes, and one on the even ones, and the players play alternate shots throughout the hole. This format is also known as alternate shot.
