THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Sherwood Country Club isn’t close enough to Long Beach for Patrick Cantlay to consider it a home game. It’s an L.A. thing, driven by the area’s horrendous traffic and regional loyalties.
“I grew up about an hour and a half away and there's a lot of golf between here and there,” Cantlay said of Sherwood, which he had never played before this week.
The Long Beach native was just being honest. Of course, that attitude will likely change following Sunday’s final round of the Zozo Championship.
After starting the day three strokes off the lead on a course that was yielding a record number of birdies, Cantlay won his third PGA Tour title thanks to an eventful final round.
