2021 Sanderson Farms Championship scores: Will Zalatoris among three tied for lead after Round 2

Zalatoris shot 11-under 61 to share the lead Nick Watney and Sahith Theegala heading into Saturday

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) -- Will Zalatoris felt like he couldn't miss on the green and rarely did Friday in setting the course record with an 11-under 61 to share the lead with Nick Watney and Sahith Theegala in the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Zalatoris, voted the PGA Tour rookie of the year despite not having full status last year, made it look so simple at the Country Club of Jackson that his longest putt for par was 3 feet.

One of the poorer shots he hit was on the par-5 third hole after making the turn. He hit a weak fade into a bunker some 30 yards away and blasted out to 3 feet, turning a difficult shot into yet another birdie.
