Following this performance, he now shares the lead with Nick Watney and Sahith Theegala with a score of -13 going into the weekend. 

Meanwhile, the 2020-21 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year looked impeccable with his approach game. It looked like he would not miss a single green and managed to hit darts with his irons and wedges. Zalatoris was so good with his iron and wedge play that his longest putt for par was 3 feet throughout the round.

Roberto Castro reacts as he loses course record to Will Zalatoris

Will Zalatoris shot 61 and remained 11 under for the day in the second round of the 2021 Sanderson Farms Championship. Owing to his incredible performance, Zalatoris broke the course record, which was created at the same event. Roberto Castro, an American professional golfer, had set the course record of 62 in the 2015 Sanderson Farms Championship.

However, the 25-year-old Zalatoris broke this course record yesterday, and Roberto looked a bit grumpy as he made a hilarious tweet about the same. He said, “Lost a course record today. Not great. Thanks for nothing, Zalatoris.”

Roberto looked disappointed, as he no longer holds the course record. However, the young golfer deserved it, as there wasn’t a single stroke where he looked nervous or doubtful. He scored eleven birdies, out of which six were from 12 feet or further, with the longest being a 26-footer on the par-3 13. 

Meanwhile, Roberto Castro is currently grinding it out at the Korn Ferry Tour and is trying to earn his PGA Tour card back. While the young Zalatoris has earned his first full-time PGA Tour card on the back of some amazing performances in the previous season.
