From July 14th to 17th, Beijing time, the Barracuda Championship, jointly certified by the DP World Tour and PGA Tour , will kick off at the Tahoe Mountain Golf Club in Truckee, California, USA. This event will have a prize money of US$3.7 million and 4,250 Dubai Race points for players to compete for.

The Barracuda Championship has a unique format

Different from traditional stroke play or match play, the Barracuda Championship will adopt a new scoring method. Players will receive corresponding points based on the difference between their score on each hole and the par.

In short, this week players will get 8 points if they hit an albatross; 5 points if they hit an eagle; and 5 points if they hit a birdie. 2 points; no points for even par; 1 point deducted for bogey; 3 points deducted for double bogey or worse. In the first two rounds of

, the 156 players participating will still compete in groups of three. Some players will start from the No. 1 hole; the other group will start from the No. 10 hole. After two rounds, the top 65 players (including ties for 65th place) will qualify based on their scores.

Starting from the third round, players with similar scores will be paired up. The group with the lowest score will start first, and the group with the highest score will start last. After four rounds, the player with the most points wins the event. The winner will qualify for the DP World Tour for the next two seasons. After

finished the Scottish Open with a ranking of T55, Chinese player Wu Ashun traveled a long distance to the competition venue. The fatigue of the trip may affect Ashun's performance in the next game.

Since winning the Kenya Open in March this year, Ashun has not entered the top 10 in subsequent events. Coming to the United States, people are full of expectations whether Ashun can break the inertia and achieve good results in the competition.

(Rasmus Hager on the field)

Denmark’s Rasmus Hager is currently ranked 58th on the Race to Dubai standings. He has won championships in the DP World Tour in the previous three seasons, and his best result this season is only T10 in the Netherlands Open and the Scottish Open. We will wait and see whether he can achieve a breakthrough in performance when he comes to the United States this time.

Lang on the field)

German player Hurley Lang is participating in this event and is the highest-ranked player on the Dubai competition list. He came to the United States to compete last week and finished fourth at the Barbasso Championship. This week moves to the Barracuda Championship, and I hope he can continue his excellent performance from last week.
