Patrick Fishburn found some early momentum and Denny McCarthy overcame a sluggish start Friday, Jan. 10, both winding up in the same spot — a share of the lead in the Sony Open going into what figures to be a wide-open weekend at Waialae.
HONOLULU —
McCarthy missed a pair of relatively short par putts by his standards early in his round. Once he rolled in a 25-foot birdie on the fifth hole, he was on his way to a 66. McCarthy, regarded as one of the better putters on the PGA Tour, missed an 8-foot birdie attempt on the closing hole. The cut was at 3-under 137. Among those missing in the first full-field event of the year were 15 players who were on Maui last week for The Sentry, a $20 million tournament that featured 2024 winners and the top 50 in the FedEx Cup. That list included Billy Horschel, Chris Kirk and Austin Eckroat.
“It was a big relief being on the plane knowing I was going to get a tee time. Completely different scenario,” he said."So yeah, happy to get the tee time this year. Johnson, who turns 49 next month, holed out with a 9-iron from the third fairway for eagle and shot 31 on the front nine. He wound up with a 66.
