Jordan Spieth is making his 2019 debut this week at the Sony Open and he doesn’t have great expectations of his game. He’s coming off the first winless season of his career, a campaign in which he dropped from 39th to 123rd in strokes gained: putting. Spieth said Wednesday in Hawaii that he didn’t do much […]

HONOLULU – On Wednesday, Jordan Spieth was asked about the new Rules of Golf, including a change that requires players to drop from knee-height.

They say there isn’t room for pictures on the scorecard, but there’s plenty of room on the Internet. Justin Thomas birdied the 443-yard, 14th hole Thursday at Waialae Country Club by aiming out over the trees and successfully cutting the very large corner of the dogleg left par-4. Thomas’ drive came to rest 340 yards from the […]

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 […]

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.
