#6: Charles Howell III and Rory Sabbatini hope the fourth time’s the charm at Tiburon.
This duo finished second to Sean O’Hair and Kenny Perry in 2012, the year of their third partnership, so they’ve got some unfinished business to take care of. For Howell, this event couldn’t have come at a better time–the Georgia native is riding a streak of three consecutive top 20s to start the 2015-16 season. Sabbatini’s form is slightly more sour, but given the quirky formats this week, that won’t tank them too much. Look for experience to figure into the result this week–these two have played in a combined 16 Shootouts.
