Notable groupings for Zozo Championship Round 3
As the most popular player in his home country, Hideki Matsuyama always has to deal with extra pressure when playing in Japan. But the nerves clearly haven’t gotten to the 2021 Masters champion at this week’s Zozo Championship.
One shot back after the opening round, Matsuyama fought through rain and wind in Round 2 to shoot a two-under 68 at Narashino Country Club and take the outright lead through 36 holes. Cameron Tringale is in solo second, trailing Matsuyama by one shot at seven under.
Matsuyama will have the honors in terms of his starting time for Round 3, teeing off in the final grouping off the 1st tee at 9:50 p.m. ET alongside Tringale and Matt Wallace, who is tied for third at six under.
Other notable groupings for the third round include Brendan Steele, Joaquin Niemann and Tommy Fleetwood (9:39 p.m. ET); Rickie Fowler, Tomoharu Otsuki and Kramer Hickok (7:38 p.m. ET); and Jhonattan Vegas, Collin Morikawa and Si Woo Kim (8:22 p.m. ET).
