PGA Tour : The Sentry Leaderboard
The Scots have a saying "nae wind, nae golf" and that old adage applies to this scenic Plantation course at the swanky Kapalua Resort on the paradise island of Maui.
In 2022 it was flat calm and Aussie LIV golfer Cameron Smith broke the PGA Tour scoring record -34 to beat Jon Rahm.
This year is the same as the forceful trade winds are abated and this top field of 60 players are playing it like a pitch and putt course. with the par 73 playing to an average 67.1.
At the top it's a two horse race with Hideki Matsuyama breaking that record with 11 birdies on his way to a 62 -27 (65 65 62) matched by course specialist Collin Morikawa 2nd 66 65 62 -26.
Thomas Detry is 3rd 67 65 65 -22 he said of the conditions " I shot 65 and lost ground" !!!
Nobody can control Mother Nature, however may I suggest the course with the widest fairways on tour, might just be made a lot tighter to provide at least decent test especially when they are giving away an obscene $20,000,000.
With another windless day in store, expect more of the same.
