Golfers who have added length off the tee and can get hot with the putter on the fast Bermuda greens will have a definite advantage. With minimal hazards and non-penal rough, scores have averaged 19-under par over the last five events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Field<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4.png 622w, https:\/\/api.betspertsgolf.com\/raw-forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/image-4-274x300.png 274w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As is typical for fall events in the Swing season, the field for the Sanderson Farms is quite weak. Rickie Fowler and Nick Dunlap might be the closest examples to &#8220;headline&#8221; players in this field. The highest-ranked player in the field is Dunlap who is 35th in the world. Beyond him, the next highest-ranked golfers are Eric Cole (54th) and Stephan Jaeger (59th). Six of the last ten winners at this event have been first-time winners on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond Cole and Jaeger, there is some depth in the mid-tier with the likes of Daniel Berger, Harris English, Ryan Fox, Ben Griffin, Emiliano Grillo, Maverick McNealy, Keith Mitchell, Seamus Power, Patrick Rodgers, and Adam Svensson. Last year&#8217;s winner, Luke List returns to defend his crown, as do other past winners including Cameron Champ, Mackenzie Hughes, Ryan Armour, Peter Malnati and Cody Gribble. There are three golfers in the field with home ties to Mississippi including Davis Riley, Chad Ramey, and Hayden Buckley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CC of Jackson &#8211; Course History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Founded in 1914, the original Country Club of Jackson was a Tom Bendelow-designed course built on 100 acres five miles west of the city&#8217;s center. In the late 1950s, the club purchased a 400-acre property northeast of Jackson with famed architect Dick Wilson contracted to design the course which opened in 1962.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Sanderson Farms Championship event has had different names over the years, it has been played in Mississippi and has been on the PGA Tour schedule since 1968. As for the course itself, it was a renovation by John Fought in 2008 that prompted its inclusion as a host for a PGA Tour event. The members of the course wanted the layout to incorporate more of a &#8220;Golden Age&#8221; feel and thus Fought redesigned the course with Donald Ross-type characteristics in mind. The course incorporated a classical parkland-style out-to-in routing. The par-3s are well-conceived and challenging. The biggest change was to the green complexes, many of which are elevated and slope from back to front as is very similar to other Ross designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>We have partnered with&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/betspertsgolf.com\/golf-betting\/pga-championship-underdog-plays-round-1\" target=\"_blank\">Underdog<\/a>&nbsp;to bring you an easy way to claim a FREE, no-strings-attached 90 days of&nbsp;<em>Premium Access to Betsperts Golf,<\/em>&nbsp;plus up to $250 in bonuses when you deposit!
