Corey Connors opens Sentry Tournament of Champions even par 73

There are many perks out there for the few among us who make it to the pro ranks of golf. Among the private planes, beautiful homes etal is the first two weeks of the PGA Tour season.

Th winners from 2019 are invited to the Plantation course in Kapalua, on the island of Maui, an ultra rich resort in one of the most stunning locals on earth, surrounded by the blue Pacific and all of the sea life you can imagine. The sponsors can't do enough to coddle their special guests.

Corey Connors is in the field on the basis of his win in Houston last year, along with 33 other players, wives, kids, parents and significant others. Most of them will take a short island hop to Oahu for the full field Sony Open on the historic tight little Waialae course in behind the Diamond Head volcano next week.

Corey fired 3 birdies and 3 bogey's to T22 E 73 in his opening round.

Four players from the Presidents cup fill the top 3 spots. Joaquin Niemann from Columbia leads -7 66, Justin Thomas 2nd -6 67, with Matt Kuchar and Rickie Fowler 3rd -5 68 in ideal weather that is about to change.

Traditional winds gusting 20 - 35kph are set to arrive for the next 3 days, and that coupled with a new set of greens will likely raise the field's scoring average.
