The team of Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland entered the Zurich Classic as the betting favorite in the PGA Tour’s lone team event, and they’re already off to a great start in Thursday’s fourballs.
The duo started on No. 10, and after finding the fairway at the par-4 13th, Morikawa took out a wedge from 94 yards and sent a spinner just behind the hole that worked its way down the slope and into the cup.
The hole-out eagle moved the one-time Ryder Cup foes to 3 under early in their round. And after Hovland made birdie at No. 15, Morikawa holed out again – this time from a little closer, and for birdie – at the par-3 17th.
