Five Zozo Championship storylines that played out overnight: Japan’s Hiroshi Iwata leads and eagles land

The PGA Tour landed on the other side of the world this week as the Zozo Championship returned to Japan. Here’s how things started.

The PGA Tour landed on the other side of the world this week as the Zozo Championship – which was played at Sherwood Country Club in Lake Sherwood, California, in 2020 for one year only as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic – returned to Japan. It’s more insomnia golf than coffee golf, so for those who didn’t catch the action, we’re here to catch you up.

Just like last week, there’s no cut in the Zozo Championship. Players are guaranteed four rounds at Accordia Golf Narashino, located just east of Tokyo. Want a reminder that will give you chills? This is the same course where Tiger Woods earned his 82nd PGA Tour title in 2019 to tie Sam Snead’s record. Cue the flashbacks.
