John Haslbauer highlighted Christiaan Bezuidenhout as a top target for the 2025 Valspar Championship, citing multiple key factors that fit particularly well with Innisbrook Resort's Copperhead course. Bezuidenhout excels on Bermuda greens, ranking top five in SG: Putting overall and top 20 specifically on Bermuda surfaces across his last 24 rounds. The event historically favors strong putters, with past winners like Peter Malnati, Sam Burns, and Adam Hadwin serving as examples. Additionally, Haslbauer emphasized that the Copperhead course neutralizes Bezuidenhout's weaker driver due to many forced positional layups off the tee. Bezuidenhout’s exceptional Comp Course history, ranked fourth, and a previous T9 finish here further solidify him as a perfect course-fit sleeper, given his strengths in accuracy and short game.
