PGA Makes One More Stop in Hawaii

by Roz Roberts III

Michael Thompson and the rest of the PGA Tour will make their second, and final, stop in Hawaii this week as they hit the island of Oahu for the Sony Open.  The narrow, palm lined fairways of the Waialae Country Club demand accuracy off the tee.  Two years ago, Michael finished in a tie for 6th in this event.

After his great showing at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions last week, Michael will look to keep moving up the OWGR list in hopes of getting into the WGC Accenture Match Play event in  February.  The top 64 players in OWGR to accept invitations to that event will gain entry.

Michael will play the first two rounds with Stewart Cink and Marc Leishman.  The trio will tee off for round #1 from the tenth hole at 12:30pm local time (2:30pm PT) on Friday.
