The "California Portfolio" continues to lead the way
The second round is a four-a-side, two-ball match, also known as a rotational batting match. Two partners form a team to play, hitting a ball in a rotating order on each hole.
The "California combo" Patrick Cantley/Zander Sheophile played stunningly in the first round of the four-ball game, breaking the four-ball record held by players such as Zhang Xinjun/Dou Zecheng (2018 first round) with a score of 59 (-13). In this round of competition, they worked together tacitly, shooting 68 (-4) and continuing to occupy the top spot with a total score of -17, maintaining the advantage at one stroke.

The Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup teammates set out from the back nine to catch three birds after the opening four holes and swallowed the only bogey of the round on only the 12th hole. After the transfer, they played smoothly, catching two more birds on the 2nd and 4th holes, and playing the key Paula several times.

As Cantelli said after the first round: "Zander and I both love the rotation batting match. It was one of the strengths of both of us this week and really looking forward to it. The two captured 3 birds and 2 birds respectively, with equal firepower.

"Four-man, two-ball game is more difficult than four-ball match," Cantelli said after this round, "considering the wind and the foundation laid yesterday, I think today's -4 is very good." It set a good tone for our race at the weekend. ”
Lead the table
Both teams, Aaron Rye/David Ripsky and Doc Lehmann/Sam Ryder, both shot 67 (-5) to finish T2 at -16, just one stroke behind the leaders.

"I think this format (four-a-side, two-ball game) releases as much pressure as possible and you're going to play harder for your teammates. He (Lyman) played very well and left me with a lot of good opportunities. Ryder said in a post-match interview.
(Leishman kicked off with precision, Smith then grabbed the bird)
Garrick Higg/Brandon Grace tied the tournament's best four-goal four-goal match (par 65, -7) and finished in T4 with Wyndham Clark/Cameron Tringaly (par 67, -5).
