The PGA Tour kicked off a stretch of three consecutive international tournaments, beginning in the Land of the Rising Sun. (Mexico and Bermuda are next.)
But the first stop is Accordia Golf Narashino Country Club, home of the Zozo Championship in Arazai, 25 minutes northeast of Tokyo in the Chiba Prefecture. It’s the sixth edition of a tournament first won by Tiger Woods in 2019 and features Collin Morikawa as the defending champion.
Forty-seven players in the 78-man, no-cut event broke par in the opening round on Thursday. Former Arkansas Razorback Taylor Moore set the pace, shooting 7-under 63 to take a one-stroke leader over four other players. Some of the big names, however, struggled out of the gate. Here are five things to know from the first round of the Zozo Championship.
