The 2020 Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, Georgia has been an exciting one so far. After two rounds of play, Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland are tied for the lead at 12-under par. This is a remarkable feat for both golfers, but especially for Morikawa, who broke Tiger Woods’ 36-hole scoring record at East Lake.
Morikawa shot a 7-under 63 on Thursday and followed it up with a 5-under 65 on Friday, giving him a two-round total of 128. This is the lowest 36-hole score ever recorded at East Lake, breaking the previous record of 129 set by Woods in 2007. Morikawa’s two-round total is also the lowest ever recorded at the Tour Championship since the event moved to East Lake in 2004.
Morikawa is in great form heading into the weekend. He has been playing some of the best golf of his career recently, having won two tournaments in the last month. He is also coming off a runner-up finish at the BMW Championship last week.
Hovland is also playing well and is tied for the lead with Morikawa. The Norwegian golfer has been on a hot streak lately, having finished in the top 10 in five of his last six tournaments. He has also been playing some of the best golf of his career and is looking to make a statement this weekend.
The Tour Championship is shaping up to be an exciting one with Morikawa and Hovland tied for the lead. Both golfers have been playing some of the best golf of their careers and are looking to make a statement this weekend. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top when all is said and done.
