AVONDALE, La. — Any follow up to a record-breaking 59 may look like a disappointment, but in a difficult format and tough conditions, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay fought for a second-round 68 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
“I think we just wanted to hit a bunch of quality golf shots, and we did that today,” Cantlay said after their round. “We really fought hard and made a bunch of those mid-range putts, especially in the middle of the round, and that kind of kept the momentum going.”
After opening with three birdies in their first four holes, the pair made six straight pars before writing another circle on the card at the par-5 2nd. They closed out their 4-under effort with six pars and a birdie.
