    Having been beat up by Hawaii winds plenty it is so about time these pga tour boys get the Hawaii events in some wind. Waialae may be a 68 par for tour guys in no wind but looks like par 74 or more this week.
    Morikawas first round was not quite equivalent to 59, but it’s close; reminiscent of that iconic Sneds round at Torrey a few years ago.
    I play later today on a course which makes Waialae look sheltered; but regardless of how I do today I’ll be able to remember some of the shots and scores from the Sony and feel a whole lot better about myself.

      I hear ‘ya…..it blew 40 mph on us for the entire round when we played Kingsbarns last October, only problem, it was in the mid-40s temperature-wise….now that was a long day!
