If you didn’t know any better when checking the leaderboard of the HSBC Champions, you’d think it was just another PGA Tour event. Unfortunately, it’s not, but with all the American flags hibernating near the top, five of the top-12 to be exact, you’d think this tournament was being held in the States, not in Shanghai, China.
Nick Watney, an American, set the course record at Sheshan International Golf Club on Thursday with a 8-under 64, but near his heels are a few well known names, including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, playing in this event together for the first time.
