Zach Johnson Leads Mitsubishi Electric Classic by Three Points
A points-based format that rewards birdies keeps several veterans within striking distance.
Overview
- Johnson sits at +28 after two rounds at TPC Sugarloaf in the Mitsubishi Electric Classic.
- The event uses Modified Stableford scoring that gives five points for an eagle, two for a birdie, zero for par, minus one for a bogey, and minus three for a double bogey, which pushes players to attack.
- Johnson posted +13 in the second round with seven birdies and one bogey, closing strong with four birdies over his final seven holes.
- Retief Goosen holds second at +25 after another +13 round, building 12 of those points over his last 11 holes.
- Rory Sabbatini, David Duval, George McNeill, and Ben Crane are tied at +21, Alex Cejka sits at +20, and Stephen Ames climbed to +18 with the day’s best round at +16 that included an eagle on the par-5 10th.
