Munoz leads, Woods struggles at Sherwood

-

The scorecards of Sebastian Munoz and Tiger Woods were unusual for different reasons Thursday in the Zozo Championsh­ip at Sherwood. That was only good news for one of them.

Munoz twice holed out for eagle from a combined distance of 219 yards. He also had eight birdies.

Throw in a wild tee shot for double bogey, three bogeys and only five pars and it added to an 8-under 64 and a oneshot lead.

“Not a normal round,” Munoz said.

That especially was the case for Woods. For the first time in his 1,277 rounds on the PGA Tour as a pro, he made bogey or worse on three par 5s in a single round.

That led to a 4-over 76 — by two shots his worst score in 49 rounds at Sherwood Country Club — that left him 12 shots out of the lead and in no mood to talk.

VIKINGS, RAVENS DEAL » The Vikings traded defensive end Yannick Ngakoue to the Ravens for draft picks, less than two months after acquiring the fifth-year pass rusher in a deal with the Jaguars.

Ngakoue is tied for fourth in the NFL with five sacks in six games, including two forced fumbles, but the Vikings entered their bye week with a 1-5 record and thus more incentive to focus on the future than stay competitiv­e in 2020.
