Moore Blasts into Early Lead at Zozo Championship
SANTA CLARITA, Calif. (October 26, 2023) – American golfer Ryan Moore shot a scintillating 7-under 63 to seize a one-stroke advantage at the opening round of the Zozo Championship at Sherwood Country Club.
Moore enjoyed a bogey-free round, carding eight birdies on a course where most struggled to make headway. Only seven players in the field managed to break 70 on a challenging day, highlighting Moore’s impressive performance.
The 39-year-old showcased his precision and consistency, hitting 13 of 14 fairways and finding 16 greens in regulation. Moore, who has always performed well at Sherwood, is seeking his fifth PGA Tour victory.
Defending champion Keegan Bradley and Australian Cameron Smith are among those chasing Moore, sitting just one shot behind at 6-under. With three rounds to go, a thrilling battle for the Zozo Championship title awaits.
Solheim Cup: Team USA preps for biennial battle against Euros
The 17th Solheim Cup gets underway Friday at Gleneagles in Scotland: Team USA vs. Team Europe and bragging rights as the top women’s golf continent. Team USA has won the past two matches, but the Europeans lead the all-time series 10-6-1.
Much of the attention this week will be on Team USA’s lineup: Captain Stacy Lewis made three captain’s picks (Angel Yin, Mina Harigae and Ally Ewing) who are making their debuts. For Harigae, it will also be her first time playing in Europe.
“It’s definitely going to be different,” Harigae said. “But I feel like our team is going to help us get acclimated and be prepared for it, and just feed off the energy of each other.”
Europe is making one captain’s pick as well: England’s Charley Hull, who played on the victorious 2019 team.
Experts warn against swapping a full-size driver for a mini driver, citing loss of distance, inconsistent launch and reduced forgiveness for many golfers. Bag Builders advises testing before altering your set.
