ZOZO At Sherwood: Incredible Day Two Scoring As Thomas Takes Lead (-14)

It was the coolest day in months around southern California but still comfortable enough for short sleeves.

Sherwood Country Club is immaculate.

There are five par-5’s.

The ball goes forever and there isn’t a snap hook in sight.

Oh, and the players have never been more athletic, intelligent, etc...

But you have to admire the quality of play at Sherwood Country Club after two rounds of the ZOZO Championship. The Jack Nicklaus-designed course still offers plenty of trouble, the rough is up, the greens remain tricky (but toned down since the pros were last here) and are firm enough to differentiate between good and bad shots.

Yet, an astounding 18 of 77 players posted bogey-free rounds Friday, including new course record holder Richie Werenski (61).

Here they are courtesy of the PGA Tour notes:

The round two scoring average was 67.870.

After two rounds Justin Thomas leads at -14.

In 14 World Challenge’s played at Sherwood, the average winning score was -15.6. Those were played over four rounds.

There is one key difference between this October event Sherwood and those December playings of the World Challenge: the chance to win a green jacket looms in just over two weeks.
