We get a glimpse at a West Coast gem this week as the PGA Tour heads to Los Angeles for the ZoZo Championship from Sherwood Country Club. This track is pure throughout as a par 72 just over 7,000 yards with bentgrass putting surfaces. But, the most interesting thing to note is the five par 5s and five par 3s. Plus, pretty much every par 5 is gettable in 2 for most of the field. Scoring is going to be ridiculously low this week with the winning score easily better than -20 and potentially approaching -30.
