HONOLULU – The PGA Tour’s first tournament of the season, which included a full field, also meant its first ever 36-hole cut. It was a big one.
Joel Dahmen was holding the fate of 17 golfers on the line at the end of Friday. He needed to miss a birdie putt from 5 feet away at No. They had to all go home if he missed the putt at No. 9. He said, “I made a good putt.” After burning the right edge. All of them should give me money.”
You could at least buy him something to drink. The Sony Open in Hawaii required a 36 hole aggregate of 2 under 138 at Waialae country club. Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, who is the champ for 2022, birdied his final two golf holes to qualify. Lanto Griffin birdied his last hole to join him. All 82 players are guaranteed a weekend tee-time – only seven strokes separate the first and last place.
