HONOLULU — Vijay Singh opened with a 7-under 63 for a five-way share of the lead and a score just good enough to beat players in his own age group Thursday at the Sony Open.
Singh, who turns 53 next month and could be the oldest PGA Tour winner in history, narrowly missed an 8-foot eagle putt on his final hole Thursday and still posted his best score in 19 years playing Waialae Country Club. He was tied with Brandt Snedeker, Kevin Kisner, Ricky Barnes and Morgan Hoffmann.
Singh was among three players 50 or older who shot 66 or better.
