Remaining PGA Tour events won’t have fans

SATURDAY MORNING FOURSOMES SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Facing a 6-2 deficit coming into Saturday’s play Padraig Harrington’s European team was looking to stop the bleeding and begin an attempted comeback while Steve Stricker’s Americans were hoping to show no mercy and increase a lead. It looked ugly early for Europe when the opening two Foursomes matches were 3 up leads after three holes to the U.S. duos, but the Spanish resistance of Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia fought back hard to give the visiting team some hope to escape the session without further damage. Match 1: Jon Rahm/Sergio Garcia, EUR, def. Brooks Koepka/Daniel Berger USA, 3 and 1 Recap: An incredible lead off match where the Spanish resistance dropped the first three holes and things looked more than bleak for the European team in general before an incredible turnaround. Rahm and Garcia lifted their game exponentially and secured the sixth and eighth holes before Garcia chipped in expertly on the ninth to flip the script completely. The hole out came with the U.S. looking at a birdie putt, that Berger subsequently missed, and it was tied at the turn. A lovely wedge into the par-3 12th from Rahm set up a 7-foot birdie for Garcia and the Europeans grabbed a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. They doubled it at the 13th but the lead was just one soon after. A contentious ruling on the 15th hole went against the Americans before Rahm and Garcia produced two incredible shots on the par-5 16th that resulted in a conceded eagle and capped off an incredible comeback win. Score at match’s conclusion: USA 6, EUR 3 MATCH 2: Dustin Johnson/Collin Morikawa USA vs. Paul Casey/Tyrrell Hatton, EUR MATCH 3: Jordan Spieth/Justin Thomas USA vs. Viktor Hovland/Bernd Wiesberger, EUR MATCH 4: Patrick Cantlay/Xander Schauffele USA vs. Matt Fitzpatrick-Lee Westwood, EUR

Sherwood Country Club is known for its star-studded membership. Now it gets to host the world's best in its first PGA TOUR event. It was announced today that the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP has a new venue and a new name this year. It has moved to Sherwood Country Club outside Los Angeles and will be known as the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP @ SHERWOOD. Tiger Woods hosted his event, the Hero World Challenge, at Sherwood for several years and is expected to return as the ZOZO's defending champion. RELATED: Inside the Field Here are five things to know about the newest PGA TOUR venue: 1. SEEING THE FOREST The name is no accident. Robin Hood and The Adventures of Robin Hood were both shot there, featuring screen stars like Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland, and the club name (after the Sherwood Forest) and logo (a Robin Hood-like figure pulling back a bow string) honor that history. So does the Bow and Arrow, an annual member-guest tournament. 2. RUGGED TERRAIN You might've seen the place while watching primetime television. The club is set in a valley surrounded by jagged mountains and hillsides, one of which was the setting for the opening helicopter scene in every episode of M*A*S*H. The Dukes of Hazzard was shot there before it was a golf course. 3. STAR-STUDDED You could cast a movie with the membership. Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone, Craig T. Nelson, Sean Connery, Justin Timberlake and others have been members. Former NHL great Wayne Gretzky has also been a Sherwood fixture, and he and Dustin Johnson have played there together numerous times. 4. TIGER TIME Tiger Woods finished first (five times) or second (five times) in 10 of 12 starts when the Hero World Challenge was there from 2000 to 2013. He also beat David Duval, 2 and 1, in the made-for-TV "Showdown at Sherwood" in 1999, when Duval's tee shot hit the famous boulder architect Jack Nicklaus left in the middle of the 16th fairway for character. 5. HISTORY LESSON Davis Love III pulled off a rare double at Sherwood. Not only did Love relegate Woods to runner up at the Hero World Challenge in 2000 and 2003, but he also won The Shark Shootout when that also unofficial, also Florida-bound event was held there from 1989 through '99. The course has also hosted a PGA TOUR Champions tournament.
