PGA Tour Sony Open leaderboard https://www.pgatour.com/competition/2020/sony-open-in-hawaii/leaderboard.html
Yesterday I noted that the leaderboard was so tight there were only 7 shots between first and last, and the story going into today would be the same, except American Brendan Steele playing the best golf since 2017, has separated himself from the pack with a -6 64 to get to -12.
Nick Taylor mad a move with a -3 67 T16 -4, while Corey Connors remains T30 after 69 -2 total.
One of the games best putters Cameron Smith 66 -9 is alone in 2nd, Kevin Kisner 64 -8 is 3rd and they will be in the final pairing with Steele.
After Steele's last win in October 2017, daughter Victoria came along, and Steele admits he fell in love with being a dad and out of love with golf. His confidence dropped, as did his rankings. He's had 38 starts without a top 10.
"I was dragging my wife Anastassia and Victoria everywhere around the world with me, and it was hard on them. It's a really tough balance we don't talk about a lot out here. I've been out here a long time, 15 years as a pro and sometimes it just gets old."
It has been a wet windy week in Honolulu and more of the same is expected today, which will help the front runners, since scoring is at a premium and par is only 70.
