Kaufman aims to feed off fan support at Zurich Classic (The Associated Press)

AVONDALE, La. (AP) -- Fresh off his impressive showing at the Masters, PGA Tour rookie and former LSU golfer Smylie Kaufman is preparing for another heaping of fanfare at the Zurich Classic.

''This is definitely a home game for me,'' Kaufman said.

In terms of fan support, that is.

As far as knowing the ins and outs of the Pete Dye-designed TPC Louisiana course, not so much.

''I've only played nine holes here, but it definitely feels like a home game from all the folks so far that have given me support, (and) said 'Go Tigers,''' Kaufman said before playing his pro-am round on Wednesday on the par-72, 7,425-yard course.
