Stat Boy’s Weekend Warriors – ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD

By Erik Dantoft

ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD Leaderboard Heading into the Weekend:

After a T12 finish at THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK last week, Justin Thomas was to get back to work at Sherwood Country Club.  He got off to a fast start in Thousand Oaks, California when he shot a round one 7-under 65 at and followed that up with another 7-under 65 in round two.  Thomas will enter the weekend as the 36-hole leader at the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD.  After winning the BMW PGA Championship a fortnight ago over on the European Tour, Tyrrell Hatton returned stateside last week and finished T3 at THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK.  He continued that great form Thursday and Friday at Sherwood Country Club when he shot a total of 11-under par.  The Englishman sits three strokes behind Justin Thomas on the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD leaderboard.  Patrick Cantlay remained in good form during the opening rounds at Sherwood Country Club after a T8 finish at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open and then a T38 finish at THE CJ CUP @ SHADOW CREEK last week.  He sits tied with Scottie Scheffler in fourth place on the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD leaderboard heading into the weekend.  Lanto Griffin continues to impress on the golf course after firing 13-under par thus far.  He is joined by Dylan Frittelli at T2 on the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD leaderboard.  The biggest surprise so far has been the play of Tiger Woods.  He is tied for 66^th place (out of 77 golfers) after he shot a round one 4-over 76 but did manage to right the ship with a 6-under 66 in round two.  The ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD is a no cut event, so all golfers are still in play for Weekend Golf.  The bunched-up leaderboard with plenty of scoring opportunities sets up for an exciting conclusion in Thousand Oaks, California.
