HIGHLIGHTS: Here Are The Top Moments From The CJ Cup

Over the weekend, Vegas played host to the strongest field since the US Open. The CJ Cup didn’t disappoint, with some of the biggest names in golf at the top of the leaderboard. 

Some were missing, as DJ and Tony Finau withdrew due to COVID-19. We also lost Jason Day early into his round on Sunday due to a neck injury. Despite all of this, the tournament was fantastic entertainment, as Jason Kokrak beat Xander Schauffele by 2 strokes. 

Here are the best moments from the week…
