PGA Tour Sony Open leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/leaderboard.html
There's an old saying in Scotland, nae wind, nae golf in reference to the links courses needing the wind to protect par. The adage applies to this week's venerable Waialae GC where the wind was scheduled to blow all week and it certainly has at the half way point where the lead is only at -6, by Brendan Steele (66)and Aussie Cameron Davis (66).
The cut fell at +1 so there are only 7 shots between first and last. There are nine players at -5 so you can expect a shoot out over this weekend.
Canadians Corey Connors (68 71) and Nick Taylor (70 69) are T30 -1, and right in contention, like everyone else !! The other 5 Canucks missed the cut as did defending champion Matt Kuchar as well as Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed who were in the playoff last week on Maui.
The course is being pounded by rain overnight so the greens are soft but the wind is blowing at 35kph, an unusual combination many of these pros haven't faced on Waialae before.
Remember, Connors finished in a T3 here last year.
