HONOLULU – It was a dream start for Chez Reavie on Friday at the Sony Open. Reavie dunked a sand wedge from 101 yards for an opening eagle at Waialae Country Club’s par-4 10th hole. Things only got better from there. Six holes later, Reavie’s 9-iron from 149 yards out in the middle of the 16th fairway […]

HONOLULU – Uninspired. That’s how Keith Mitchell summed up his first 33 holes at the Sony Open. His opening 68 included three bogeys and just two putts over 10 feet. And by the time he reached the par-3 seventh Friday, his 16th hole of the day, he was stuck at even par. But then, Mitchell’s tee […]
HONOLULU — This should help temper the debate over a new rule this year that allows players to putt with the flagstick in the hole. Last week at the Sentry Tournament of Champions, Bryson DeChambeau, whose plan is to putt with the flagstick in as often as possible, led the field in strokes gained: putting […]

HONOLULU – Matt Kuchar’s career at the Sony Open is a story of contrasts. In his first eight starts at Waialae Country Club, he missed the cut six times and posted just a single top-10 finish, in 2002. By comparison, in his last five starts, he’s finished inside the top 10 four times, including a […]
HONOLULU – Justin Thomas began his first round at the Sony Open shooting 4 under on the front nine to climb the leaderboard. It seemed so familiar. Although it’s always best to keep thoughts of a 59 out of your mind until the very end, early in Thursday’s round there were a few déjà vu moments for […]
It’s a new world in 2019 under the new Rules of Golf, and the changing landscape almost led to an unfortunate miscue for Jordan Spieth. Making his first start of the year at the Sony Open in Hawaii, Spieth had to take relief after his tee shot on the 15th hole landed near a sprinkler head. […]
