7. Southern Guards GC\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Southern Guards are fresh off a heartbreaking runner-up finish at LIV Golf South Africa but may have gained some momentum with their strong play. Charl Schwartzel<\/a> finished T7 in Mexico City last year and as one of the league\u2019s best putters, could post a good finish. Dean Burmester<\/a> has yet to contend at Chapultepec, but his power game should suit the course nicely.\u00a0<\/p>\n 8. RangeGoats GC\u00a0<\/p>\n After back-to-back top-10 finishes in Hong Kong and Singapore, Matthew Wolff<\/a> regressed in South Africa, finishing T53. Hopefully for the RangeGoats, that was just a minor setback in what seems to be a resurgent season. Captain Bubba Watson<\/a> narrowly missed the cut at the Masters last week but finished T7 at Chapultepec last year. Watson will look to gain some much-needed momentum at a familiar course.\u00a0<\/p>\n 9. Smash GC\u00a0<\/p>\n After a surprising second-place finish in Hong Kong, Smash GC<\/a> came back down-to-earth, finishing 7th in Singapore and 10th in South Africa. Captain Talor Gooch<\/a> has been very solid this season, finishing in the top 24 in all five events this season, but hasn\u2019t contended for wins as he has over the course of his LIV Golf career. Jason Kokrak<\/a> has been one of the league\u2019s best putters this year, so he may have a chance to perform well at Chapultepec, where good putters typically thrive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"7.
