PGA Tour Sony Open leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2019/sony-open-in-hawaii/leaderboard.html
Roger Sloan ( @RogerSloan87 ) posted a bogey free -5 65 to surge up the Sony Open ( @SonyOpenHawaii ) leaderboard to T12 at -6 while his fellow countryman Adam Svensson who grabbed all the headlines on Thursday with his -9 61, was 13 shots worse, slumping to a 74 and out of contention T20 -5.
Veteran Matt Kuchar shot his 2nd straight 63 to lead going into the weekend at -14, one shot ahead of Andrew Putman (65) at -13. Chez Reavie (65) and Stewart Cink (62) were four behind. Reavie had a remarkable round as he holed out for eagle three times from the fairway from 101 yards on No. 10 at the start of his round; from 149 yards on No. 16, and from 135 yards on No. 6.
As I mentioned yesterday it is not unusual for golfers to have a poor round after they shoot a career best. It is difficult mentally not to keep making comparisons and you can see how the veterans like Kuchar draw on their vast experience to block out the day before and keep relying on what is working well for them each day. Remember Svensson is only playing his 6th PGA Tour event and he will learn from this.
Corey Conners 67, T20 -5, Adam Hadwin 65 and Mac Hughes 68, both T65th at -2.
David Hearn and Ben Silverman both missed the cut. Jordan Spieth who is still struggling to find the form that made him America's poster boy has also missed the cut.
