KAPALUA, MAUI - Heading into weekend play at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, Collin Morikawa holds the second-round lead/co-lead for only the third time in his career. He is 1-for-2 in converting to date. Morikawa is the only player in the field to be bogey-free through 36 holes and his 64-66 (130) start marks his career-low 36-hole score on the Tour (previously: 131, four times; most recent: 2021 Sony Open in Hawaii). His score is one of the five best-ever at the Tournament of Champions with the four previous top scorers going on to win.

Top Scorers at the SentryToC:

  • 1999 - David Duval (129)

  • 2022 - Cameron Smith (129)

  • 2003 - Ernie Els (130)

  • 2016 - Jordan Spieth (130)

  • 2023 - Collin Morakawa (130)

World No. 2 Scottie Scheffler (T-2) birdied his final four holes and sits two back after matching 7-under (66s) in the first two rounds while, in his Tournament of Champions debut, J.J. Spaun (T-2) sits two shots back following a 5-under (68). Spaun is in search of second career Tour victory with the prior “W” at the 2022 Valero Texas Open.

Xander Schauffele withdrew during the second round with a back injury.
