Notable pairings for Tournament of Champions Round 2
After a short off-season over the holidays, the Tour’s top players got right back to work on Thursday, and showed little sign of rust, with 36 of the 42 players in the field posting a score under par.
At the top of the leaderboard: Harris English and defending champ Justin Thomas, who both fired rounds of 8-under 65. The two will play the second round together in Friday’s final pairing at 5:40 p.m. ET.
English is seeking his third career Tour victory while Thomas is seeking his 14th — and third career title at Kapalua.
Dustin Johnson was the odds-on favorite to win this week, but he’ll start the second round with a six-shot deficit after an opening 2-under 71. He’ll play alongside Lanto Griffin (-2) at 2:50 p.m. ET on Friday.
Other notable pairings for Friday’s round include Jon Rahm (-3) and Stewart Cink (-2) at 3:20 p.m. ET, Sergio Garcia (-6) and Robert Streb (-6) in the penultimate pairing at 5:30 p.m. ET, and Bryson DeChambeau (-4) and Viktor Hovland (-4) at 4:20 p.m. ET.
