Thanksgiving, Black Friday and all of that other jazz doesn’t typically make one think of golf being played, but the OMEGA Mission Hills World Cup is currently taking place in Haikou, China. The United States team of Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland started out solid with a 64 in the opening round, but the pair shot a 70 in the second round to place them in a tie for fourth heading into Friday.

Woodland and Kuchar’s team trail Australia and Ireland, in a tie for first place, and Scotland -- the third-place team entering the third round. Team USA is tied with Spain and New Zealand.
“It was the first time we played this format together, we are still getting used to golf balls,” Woodland told the PGA Tour’s official website. “His ball is a little harder and mine is a little softer, and we are working on that a little bit but that’s the minor stuff. Just go out tomorrow and see what happens.”
The Golf Channel is showing the entire tournament live, beginning at 10:30 p.m. each night, for those interested in watching on television. The full leaderboard is included at this link.
