CVS Caremark Charity Classic Announces Pairings
Tuesday, June 04, 2013
The pairings for the 2013 CVS Caremark Charity Classic were unvieled today and there appear to be many pairings that have a legitimate shot to take home the title this year.
Among those is the pairing or tournament co-host Brad Faxon and Jeff Sluman. The two combined to win the Champions Tour's Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf earlier this year which essentially has the same format as this event.
Fellow tournament co-host Billy Andrade also sports a strong partner in Bill Haas who has been one of the most consistent players on tour this year.
